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
       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.
