zonec(8)			  nsd 3.2.20			      zonec(8)

NAME
       zonec - NSD zone compiler version 3.2.20.

SYNOPSIS
       zonec  [-v] [-h] [-C] [-L] [-F] [-c configfile] [-d directory] [-o ori‐
       gin] [-z zonefile] [-f database]

DESCRIPTION
       Zonec is the nsd(8) database compiler for creating name space databases
       from a set of input master zone files specified in nsd.conf(5) file.

       It  is  normally	 invoked via nsdc(8) rebuild command.  Zonec will then
       parse every zone in nsd.conf(5) file and add it to the name space data‐
       base,  /var/db/nsd/nsd.db  by default, that is used by nsd(8) to answer
       incoming queries.

OPTIONS
       -c configfile
	      Read   specified	 configfile    instead	  of	the    default
	      /usr/local/etc/nsd/nsd.conf.

       -C     No config file is read (use with -f, -o and -z).

       -d directory
	      Change the working directory to directory before doing any work.
	      Overrides zonesdir: option in config file.

       -f database
	      Create the specified database instead of the file	 specified  as
	      database: in the config file.

       -o origin
	      Use  this	 as  the  first	 origin. Zone information is read from
	      zonefile specified with -z. When reading zones from config  file
	      this option is ignored.

       -z zonefile
	      Reads  all  zone	information from zonefile.  If zonefile equals
	      `-`, then all zone information is read from stdin,  making  con‐
	      structs like:

	      # cat zones* | ./zonec -C -f nsd.db -o example.net -z -

	      possible.	 When  reading	zones  from config file this option is
	      ignored.

       -v     Increase the verbosity of zonec. This flag can be specified mul‐
	      tiple  times to increase the level of verbosity. The first level
	      of verbosity will print per zone summary information. The second
	      level  of	 will  print  progress information for each 10,000 RRs
	      processed.

       -F     Set debug facilities. (If compiled with --enable-checking.)

       -L     Set debug level. (If compiled with --enable-checking.)

FILES
       /var/db/nsd/nsd.db
	      default NSD database

       /usr/local/etc/nsd/nsd.conf
	      default NSD configuration file

DIAGNOSTICS
       Zonec will log all the problems	via  the  standard  error  output  and
       progress via stdout if the v option is specified.

AUTHORS
       NSD was written by NLnet Labs and RIPE NCC joint team. Please see CRED‐
       ITS file in the distribution for further details.

BUGS
       Zonec  has  rather  weak	 error diagnostics that will change in further
       versions.  Zonec expects the input files to be free  of	syntax	errors
       and very little fool proof checks are done.
