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. +This command allows the system administrator to control the operation +of a name server. If no +.Ar command +is given, +.Ic ndc +will prompt for commands until it reads EOF. +.Pp +Options are: +.Bl -tag -width Fl +.It Fl c Ar channel +Specifies the rendezvous point for the control channel. The default is +.Pa /var/run/ndc +(a UNIX domain socket which is also the server's default control channel). +If the desired control channel is a TCP/IP socket, then the format of the +.Ar channel +argument is +.Sy ipaddr/port +(for example, +.Sy 127.0.0.1/54 +would be TCP port 54 on the local host.) +.It Fl l Ar localsock +This option will +.Xr bind 2 +the client side of the control channel to a specific address. Servers can +be configured to reject connections which do not come from specific addresses. +The format is the same as for +.Ar channel +(see above). +.It Fl p Ar pidfile +For backward compatibility with older name servers, +.Ic ndc +is able to use UNIX signals for control communications. This capability is +optional in modern name servers and will disappear altogether at some future +time. Note that the available +.Ar command +set is narrower when the signal interface is used. A likely +.Ar pidfile +argument would be something like +.Pa /var/run/named.pid . +.It Fl d +Turns on debugging output, which is of interest mainly to developers. +.It Fl q +Suppresses prompts and result text. +.It Fl s +Suppresses nonfatal error announcements. +.It Fl t +Turns on protocol and system tracing, useful in installation debugging. .El -.Sh BUGS -Arguments to +.Sh COMMANDS +Several commands are built into +.Ic ndc , +but the full set of commands supported by the name server is dynamic and +should be discovered using the +.Ar help +command (see below). Builtin commands are: +.Bl -tag -width Fl +.It Ar /help +Provides help for builtin commands. +.It Ar /exit +Exit from +.Ic ndc +command interpreter. +.It Ar /trace +Toggle tracing (see +.Fl -t +description above). +.It Ar /debug +Toggle debugging (see +.Fl d +description above). +.It Ar /quiet +Toggle quietude (see +.Fl q +description above). +.It Ar /silent +Toggle silence (see +.Fl s +description above). +.El +.Sh NOTES +If running in +.Ar pidfile +mode, any arguments to +.Ar start +and +.Ar restart +commands are passed to the new .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. +on its command line. If running in +.Ar channel +mode, there is no +.Ar start +command and the +.Ar restart +command just tells the name server to +.Xr execvp 2 +itself. .Sh AUTHOR Paul Vixie (Internet Software Consortium) .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr @INDOT@named @SYS_OPS_EXT@ , -.Xr @INDOT@named.reload @SYS_OPS_EXT@ , -.Xr @INDOT@named.restart @SYS_OPS_EXT@ . |
