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 spec-
     ified  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 databases,
     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  im-
     mediately	after loading. The difference between the resulting zone and the
     one in newfile will then be appended onto the end of the journal.	This al-
     lows 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.
