+.SH NAME
+named-journalprint \- print zone journal in human-readable form
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.sp
+\fBnamed\-journalprint\fP [\-c serial] [\fB\-dux\fP] {journal}
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+\fBnamed\-journalprint\fP scans the contents of a zone journal file,
+printing it in a human\-readable form, or, optionally, converting it
+to a different journal file format.
+.sp
+Journal files are automatically created by \fBnamed\fP when changes are
+made to dynamic zones (e.g., by \fBnsupdate\fP). They record each addition
+or deletion of a resource record, in binary format, allowing the changes
+to be re\-applied to the zone when the server is restarted after a
+shutdown or crash. By default, the name of the journal file is formed by
+appending the extension \fB\&.jnl\fP to the name of the corresponding zone
+file.
+.sp
+\fBnamed\-journalprint\fP converts the contents of a given journal file
+into a human\-readable text format. Each line begins with \fBadd\fP or \fBdel\fP,
+to indicate whether the record was added or deleted, and continues with
+the resource record in master\-file format.
+.sp
+The \fB\-c\fP (compact) option provides a mechanism to reduce the size of
+a journal by removing (most/all) transactions prior to the specified
+serial number. Note: this option \fImust not\fP be used while \fBnamed\fP is
+running, and can cause data loss if the zone file has not been updated
+to contain the data being removed from the journal. Use with extreme caution.
+.sp
+The \fB\-x\fP option causes additional data about the journal file to be
+printed at the beginning of the output and before each group of changes.
+.sp
+The \fB\-u\fP (upgrade) and \fB\-d\fP (downgrade) options recreate the journal
+file with a modified format version. The existing journal file is
+replaced. \fB\-d\fP writes out the journal in the format used by
+versions of BIND up to 9.16.11; \fB\-u\fP writes it out in the format used
+by versions since 9.16.13. (9.16.12 is omitted due to a journal\-formatting
+bug in that release.) Note that these options \fImust not\fP be used while
+\fBnamed\fP is running.
