NAME

       yadifa - utility for controlling yadifad(8)

SYNOPSIS

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

       [-V]
               Show version information.

       [--help|-h]
               Show a help text

       [-t cfgreload [-q zone]]
               reload the zone and key sections in the configuration file  and  reload  the  zone
