NAMED-JOURNALPRINT(8)         BIND9         NAMED-JOURNALPRINT(8)

NAME

     named-journalprint - print zone journal in human-readable
     form

SYNOPSIS

     named-journalprint {journal}

DESCRIPTION

     named-journalprint prints the contents of a zone journal
     file in a human-readable form.

     Journal files are automatically created by named when
     changes are made to dynamic zones (e.g., by nsupdate). They
     record each addition or deletion of a resource record, in
     binary format, allowing the changes to be re-applied to the
     zone when the server is restarted after a shutdown or crash.
     By default, the name of the journal file is formed by
     appending the extension .jnl to the name of the
     corresponding zone file.

     named-journalprint converts the contents of a given journal
     file into a human-readable text format. Each line begins
     with "add" or "del", to indicate whether the record was
     added or deleted, and continues with the resource record in
     master-file format.
