NAMED-MAKEJOURNAL(1)		    BIND 9		  NAMED-MAKEJOURNAL(1)

NAME
       named-makejournal - create a journal from zone files

SYNOPSIS
       named-makejournal [-hm] {origin}	{oldfile} {newfile} [journal]

DESCRIPTION
       named-makejournal  scans	 the contents of two zone files	for the	domain
       specified by origin, compares them, and writes the differences  into  a
       journal	file.	The resulting journal file could then be used by named
       <#std-iscman-named> to load  the	 zone  and  provide  incremental  zone
       transfers.

       Both  oldfile  and  newfile must	be successfully	loadable as zone data-
       bases, and newfile must have a higher SOA serial	number than oldfile.

       If the optional argument	journal	is not	specified,  then  the  journal
       file  name  will	 be formed by appending	the extension .jnl to the zone
       file name specified as oldfile.

       If the journal file already exists, then	it will	be applied to  oldfile
       immediately  after  loading.  The difference between the	resulting zone
       and the one in newfile will then	be appended onto the end of the	 jour-
       nal.  This allows creation of journal files with	multiple transactions,
       by  running  named-makejournal  multiple	 times,	 updating newfile each
       time.

OPTIONS
       -h     Print a usage summary.

       -m     Enables memory usage debugging.
