NAME
ldns-compare-zones - read and compare two zonefiles and print
differences
SYNOPSIS
ldns-compare-zones [-c] [-i] [-d] [-z] ZONEFILE1 ZONEFILE2
DESCRIPTION
ldns-compare-zones reads two DNS zone files and prints number of
differences. Output is formated to:
+NUM_INS -NUM_DEL ~NUM_CHG
The major comparison is based on the owner name. If an owner name is
present in zonefile 1, but not in zonefile 2, the resource records with
this owner name are considered deleted, and counted as NUM_DEL. If an
owner name is present in zonefile 2, but not in zonefile 1, the
resource records with this owner name are considered inserted, and
counted as NUM_INS. If an owner name is present in both, but there is a
difference in the amount or content of the records, these are
considered changed, and counted as NUM_CHG.
OPTIONS
-c Print resource records whose owner names are in both zone files,
but with different resource records. (a.k.a. changed)
-i Print resource records whose owner names are present only in
ZONEFILE2 (a.k.a. inserted)
-d Print resource records whose owner names are present only in
ZONEFILE1 (a.k.a. deleted)
-a Print all changes. Specifying this option is the same as
specifying -c -i amd -d.
-z Suppress zone sorting; this option is not recommended; it can
cause records to be incorrectly marked as changed, depending of
the nature of the changes.
-h Show usage and exit
-v Show the version and exit
