ldns-read-zone(1)	     General Commands Manual	       ldns-read-zone(1)

NAME
     ldns-read-zone - read a zonefile and print it

SYNOPSIS
     ldns-read-zone ZONEFILE

DESCRIPTION
     ldns-read-zone  reads  a  DNS zone file and prints it. The output has 1 re-
     source record per line, and no pretty-printing makeup.

OPTIONS
     -0     Print a (null) for the RRSIG inception, expiry and	key  data.  This
	    option can be used when comparing different signing systems that use
	    the  same  DNSKEYs	for  signing but would have a slightly different
	    timings/jitter.

     -b     Include Bubble Babble encoding of DS's.

     -c     Canonicalize all resource records in the zone before printing

     -d     Only print DNSSEC data from the zone. This option skips every record
	    that is not of type NSEC, NSEC3 or RRSIG. DNSKEY and DS records  are
	    not printed.

     -e RR type
	    Do	not  print  RRs  of the given rr type.	This option may be given
	    multiple times.  -e is not meant to be used together with -E.

     -E RR type
	    Print only RRs of the given rr type.  This option may be given  mul-
	    tiple times.  -E is not meant to be used together with -e.

     -h     Show usage and exit

     -n     Do not print the SOA record

     -p     Pad  the  SOA serial number with spaces so the number and the spaces
	    together take ten characters. This is useful for in file serial num-
	    ber increments.

     -s     Strip DNSSEC data from the zone. This option skips every record that
	    is of type NSEC, NSEC3 or RRSIG. DNSKEY and  DS  records  are  still
	    printed.

     -S [[+|0]number | YYYYMMDDxx | unixtime ]
	    Set  serial  number to the given number, or when preceded by a sign,
	    offset the existing number with it. When giving the literal  strings
	    YYYYMMDDxx	or  unixtime,  the serial number is tried to be reset in
	    datecounter or in unixtime format respectively. Though  is	the  up-
	    dated  serial  number is smaller than the original one, the original
	    one is simply increased by one.

	    When updating a serial number, records of type  NSEC,  NSEC3,  RRSIG
	    and DNSKEY will be skipped when printing the zone.

     -u RR type
	    Mark RR type for printing in unknown type format.

	    -u is not meant to be used together with -U.

     -U RR type
	    Mark RR type for not printing in unknown type format.

	    The  first occurrence of the -U option marks all RR types for print-
	    ing in unknown type format except for the given RR type.  Subsequent
	    -U options will clear the mark for those RR types too, so that  only
	    the  given	RR types will be printed in the presentation format spe-
	    cific for those RR types.

	    -U is not meant to be used together with -u.

     -v     Show the version and exit

     -z     Sort the zone before printing (this implies -c)
