NAME

       mydns - SQL-based Internet name daemon.


SYNOPSIS

       mydns [-b, --background] [-c, --conf=filename] [-d, --debug] [-D,
       --database=dbname] [-h, --host=hostname] [-p, --password[=password]]
       [-u, --user=username] [-v, --verbose] [--create-tables] [--dump-config]
       [--help] [--version]


DESCRIPTION

       mydns is a SQL-based DNS server.


OPTIONS

       -b, --background
              Run in the background, as a daemon.

       -c, --conf=filename
              Read configuration from filename instead of the default
              (/usr/local/etc/mydns.conf).  Consult mydns.conf(5) for
              information about configuring mydns.

       -d, --debug
              Output huge amounts of diagnostic text while running.  This
              option is only available if MyDNS was configured with the
              --enable-debug option.

       -D, --database=dbname
              Use the database called dbname.

       -h, --host=hostname
              Connect to database server at hostname.

       -p, --pass=password
              Supply password when connecting to the database server.  If the
              password argument is omitted, it will be prompted on the tty.

       -u, --user=username
              Use username when connecting to the database server.

       -v, --verbose
              Enable verbose output while running.

       --create-tables
              Write CREATE TABLE statements suitable for creating the tables
              used by mydns to the standard output and exit.

       --dump-config
              Read the current configuration (if any).  Dump all possible
              configuration options to the standard output, with current
              values filled in.  For options not presently configured, the
              internal defaults will be used.  Output is in mydns.conf format,
              which is handy for creating a mydns.conf template.

       --help Display program help and exit.

       --version
              Output version number and exit.


FILES

       /usr/local/etc/mydns.conf
              The default location of the configuration file.  (See
              mydns.conf(5))
