14 __DESCRIPTION__
15
16
17 Named-xfer is an ancillary program executed by
18 named(8) to perform an inbound zone transfer. It is
19 rarely executed directly, and then only by system
20 administrators who are trying to debug a zone transfer
21 problem. See RFC's 1033, 1034, and 1035 for more information
22 on the Internet name-domain system.
23
24
25 Options are:
26 -z zone_to_transfer
27
28
29 specifies the name of the zone to be transferred.-f db_filespecifies the name of the db_file into which thezone should be dumped when it is received fromthe primary server.-s serial_nospecifies the serial number of our current copyof this zone. If the __SOA RR__ we get from the pri-mary server does not have a serial number higherthan this, the transfer will be aborted.-d debuglevelPrint debugging information. The debuglevel is anumber determines the level of messages printed.-l debug_log_fileSpecifies a log file for debugging messages. Thedefault is system- dependent but is usually in/var/tmp or /usr/tmp. Note that this only applies if ``-d'' is also specified.

31
32 -i ixfr_file
33 Specifies the name of the ixfr_file into which the zone
34 changes from Incremental Zone Transfer (IXFR) should be
35 dumped when it is received from the primary
36 server.
37
38
39 -t trace_file
40 Specifies a trace_file which will contain a pro- tocol trace
41 of the zone transfer. This is proba- bly only of interest to
42 people debugging the name server itself.
43
44
45 -p port#
46 Use a different port number. The default is the standard
47 port number as returned by getservbyname(3) for the
48 service ``domain''.
49
50
51 -S
52 Perform a restricted transfer of only the SOA, NS records
53 and glue A records for the zone. The SOA record will not be
54 loaded by named(8) but will be used to determine
55 when to verify the NS records. See the ``stubs''
56 directive in named(8) for more
57 information.
58
59
60 Additional arguments are taken as name server addresses in
61 so-called ``dotted-quad'' syntax ''only''; no host name
62 are allowed here. At least one address must be specified.
63 Any additional addresses will be tried, in order, if the
64 first one fails to transfer to us successfully. The
65 __axfr__ or __ixfr__ after name server address
66 designates the type of zone trans- fer to perform. Use
67 __axfr__ for a full zone transfer or __ixfr__ for an
68 incremental zone transfer.
