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.
