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.
