32 named\-journalprint \- print zone journal in human\-readable form
35 \fBnamed\-journalprint\fR {\fIjournal\fR}
38 \fBnamed\-journalprint\fR
39 prints the contents of a zone journal file in a human\-readable form.
41 Journal files are automatically created by
43 when changes are made to dynamic zones (e.g., by
44 \fBnsupdate\fR). 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
46 to the name of the corresponding zone file.
48 \fBnamed\-journalprint\fR
49 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.
