NAME

       yadifa - utility for controlling yadifad(8)

SYNOPSIS

       yadifa  [--config|-c  configfile]  [-s  host]  [@host  ] [-K key-name] [--version|-V] [-h]
       [--verbose|-v] [-t] command [[-q] zone]

DESCRIPTION

       yadifa controls the operation of yadifad.

       yadifa communicates with a name server over a TCP connection. The  protocol  used  between
       client  -  server  is  an  extension  of the DNS protocol. The authentication is done by a
       mutual key  between  client  and  server.  This  key  has  the  same  format  as  a  TSIG.
       Authentication is not needed, but provides more secure communication if used.

       Several algorithms can be used for creating a TSIG:

       *      HMAC-MD5

       *      HMAC-SHA1

OPTIONS

       [--config|-c configfile]
               Another config file will be used.

       [--server|-s host] | [ @host ]
               Host  is  the  remote  server  to  operate.   If used with a different port: e.g.:
              ./yadifa --server "192.0.2.1 port 5353"

       [-k key-name]
               Name of the key to be used for the controller.

       [--verbose|-v]
               verbose output.

       [--version|-V]
               Show version information.

       [--help|-h]
