DNSTABLE_CONVERT(1)                                        DNSTABLE_CONVERT(1)

NAME
       dnstable_convert - convert passive DNS NMSG data to dnstable MTBL
       format

SYNOPSIS
       dnstable_convert NMSG-FILE DB-FILE DB-DNSSEC-FILE

DESCRIPTION
       Converts passive DNS data from NMSG format to MTBL format. The input
       NMSG data in NMSG-FILE must be encoded using the SIE/dnsdedupe message
       schema, and the output data will be written to two separate MTBL files:
       the DB-FILE containing "plain" DNS records, and the DB-DNSSEC-FILE,
       containing DNSSEC-related records. (Specifically, all resource records
       of type DS, RRSIG, NSEC, DNSKEY, NSEC3, NSEC3PARAM, and DLV are stored
       in the DB-DNSSEC-FILE, and resource records of all other types are
       stored in the DB-FILE.)

       The output files produced by dnstable_convert are suitable for use with
       other dnstable tools like dnstable_dump(1) and dnstable_merge(1), or
       with the dnstable_reader(3) API. Since they are in MTBL format, they
       can also be read with the mtbl_reader(3) API.
