.Sh NAME
.Nm @INDOT@ndc
.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.
