+.Nd name daemon control interface
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm @INDOT@ndc
+.Ar directive
+.Op Ar ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This command allows the name server administrator to send various signals
+to the name server, or to restart it. Zero or more directives may be given,
+from the following list:
+.Bl -tag -width "querylog"
+.It Ic status
+Displays the current status of
+.Xr @INDOT@named @SYS_OPS_EXT@
+as shown by
+.Xr ps @CMD_EXT@ .
+.It Ic dumpdb
+Causes
+.Ic @INDOT@named
+to dump its database and cache to
+.Pa /var/tmp/named_dump.db
+(uses the
+.Dv INT
+signal.)
+.It Ic reload
+Causes
+.Ic @INDOT@named
+to check the serial numbers of all primary and secondary zones
+and to reload those that have changed (uses the
+.Dv HUP
+signal.)
+.It Ic stats
+Causes
+.Ic @INDOT@named
+to dump its statistics to
+.Pa /var/tmp/named.stats
+(uses the
+.Dv IOT
+or
+.Dv ABRT
+signal.)
+.It Ic trace
+Causes
+.Ic @INDOT@named
+to increment its
+.Dq tracing level
+by one. Whenever the tracing level
+is nonzero, trace information will be written to
+.Pa /var/tmp/named.run .
+Higher tracing levels result in more detailed information.
+(Uses the
+.Dv USR1
+signal.)
+.It Ic notrace
+Causes
+.Ic @INDOT@named
+to set its
+.Dq tracing level
+to zero, closing
+.Pa /var/tmp/named.run ,
+if it is open (uses the
+.Dv USR2
+signal.)
+.It Ic querylog
+Causes
+.Ic @INDOT@named
+to toggle the
+.Dq query logging
+feature, which while on will result in a
+.Xr syslog @SYSCALL_EXT@
+of each incoming query (uses the
+.Dv WINCH
+signal.) Note that query logging
+consumes quite a lot of log file space. This directive may also be given as
+.Ic qrylog .
+.It Ic start
+Causes
+.Ic @INDOT@named
+to be started, as long as it isn't already running.
+.It Ic stop
+Causes
+.Ic @INDOT@named
+to be stopped, if it is running.
+.It Ic restart
+Causes
+.Ic @INDOT@named
+to be killed and restarted.
+.El
+.Sh BUGS
+Arguments to
+.Ic @INDOT@named
+are not preserved by
+.Ic restart ,
+or known by
+.Ic start .
+.Pp
+Some mechanism for controlling the parameters and environment should exist.
+.Pp
+Implemented as a
+.Xr sh @CMD_EXT@
+script.
