NAME

       mydnsimport - Import zone data from external sources.


SYNOPSIS

       mydnsimport [-a, --axfr=host] [-D, --database=dbname] [-h,
       --host=hostname] [-o, --output] [-p, --password[=password]] [-r,
       --replace] [-t, --tinydns=file] [--notrim] [-u, --user=username] [-v,
       --verbose] [--help] [--version] ZONE [...]


DESCRIPTION

       mydnsimport imports zone data into MyDNS from an external source.  If
       an import technique is specified (for example, via the --axfr option),
       the specified zone data will be loaded and mydnsimport will add the
       zone data to your database.  Currently, --axfr and --tinydns are the
       only import techniques recognized.


OPTIONS

       -a, --axfr=hostname[:port]
              Load zone information from the specified hostname via the DNS-
              based AXFR command.

       -o, --output
              If this option is specified, mydnsimport outputs zone data in a
              computer-friendly format instead of modifying the database.
              Each line of output consists of a line type (soa, rr, or ptr)
              followed by multiple fields.  Fields within each line are
              separated by the TAB (ASCII 0x09) character.  See LINE SYNTAX,
              below.

       -r, --replace
              When importing, if the zone specified already exists,
              mydnsimport will refuse to make changes to the database unless
              this flag is provided.  When this flag is provided, if the zone
              already exists, its SOA record will be updated (from the
              external source), all resource records for that zone are purged,
              and a new set of resource records is loaded from the external
              source.

       --notrim
              Normally the zone origin is removed from labels when importing,
              in order to save space in the database.  In other words,
              host.example.com. becomes just host.  Using the --notrim option
              inhibits this behavior.

       -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.

       -t, --tinydns=file
              Load zone information from the specified file, which is in
              tinydns-data format.  When importing from a tinydns data file,
              zone may be omitted from the command line, in which case all
              zones found in the file are imported.

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

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

       --help Display program help and exit.

       --version
              Output version number and exit.


LINE SYNTAX

       When started with the -o (--output) option, mydnsimport outputs lines
       in the following format:

       SOA    "soa" <TAB> origin <TAB> ns <TAB> mbox <TAB> serial <TAB>
              refresh <TAB> retry <TAB> expire <TAB> minimum <TAB> ttl

       RR     "rr" <TAB> name <TAB> type <TAB> data <TAB> aux <TAB> ttl

       PTR    "ptr" <TAB> address <TAB> name <TAB> ttl
