82 .Fl z Ar zone_to_transfer

97 is an ancillary program executed by
98 .Xr @INDOT@named @SYS_OPS_EXT@
99 to perform an inbound zone transfer. It is rarely executed directly, and then
100 only by system administrators who are trying to debug a zone transfer problem.
101 See RFC's 1033, 1034, and 1035 for more information on the Internet
106 .It Fl z Ar zone_to_transfer
107 specifies the name of the zone to be transferred.
109 specifies the name of the
111 into which the zone should be dumped
112 when it is received from the primary server.
113 .It Fl s Ar serial_no
114 specifies the serial number of our current copy of this zone. If the
116 we get from the primary server does not have a serial
117 number higher than this, the transfer will be aborted.
118 .It Fl d Ar debuglevel
119 Print debugging information.
122 is a number determines the level of messages printed.
123 .It Fl l Ar debug_log_file
124 Specifies a log file for debugging messages. The default is system-
125 dependent but is usually in
129 Note that this only applies if
132 .It Fl i Ar ixfr_file
133 Specifies the name of the
135 into which the zone changes from Incremental Zone Transfer (IXFR)
136 should be dumped when it is received from the primary server.
137 .It Fl t Ar trace_file
140 which will contain a protocol trace of the zone
141 transfer. This is probably only of interest to people debugging the name
144 Use a different port number. The default is the standard port number
146 .Xr getservbyname @LIB_NETWORK_EXT@
150 Perform a restricted transfer of only the SOA, NS records and glue A records
151 for the zone. The SOA record will not be loaded by

166 Any additional addresses will be tried, in order, if the first one fails
167 to transfer to us successfully.
172 after name server address designates the type of zone transfer to perform.
