Update content +is read from a file (if the parameter \fIfilename\fP is given) or from the standard +input. +.sp +The format of updates is textual and is made up of commands. Every command is +placed on the separate line of the input. Lines starting with a semicolon are +comments and are not processed. +.SS Options +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +\fB\-d\fP +Enable debug messages. +.TP +\fB\-h\fP, \fB\-\-help\fP +Print the program help. +.TP +\fB\-k\fP \fIkeyfile\fP +Use the TSIG key stored in a file \fIkeyfile\fP to authenticate the request. The +file should contain the key in the same format, which is accepted by the +\fB\-y\fP option. +.TP +\fB\-p\fP \fIport\fP +Set the port to use for connections to the server (if not explicitly specified +in the update). The default is 53. +.TP +\fB\-r\fP \fIretries\fP +The number of retries for UDP requests. The default is 3. +.TP +\fB\-t\fP \fItimeout\fP +The total timeout (for all UDP update tries) of the update request in seconds. +The default is 12. If set to zero, the timeout is infinite. +.TP +\fB\-v\fP +Use a TCP connection. +.TP +\fB\-V\fP, \fB\-\-version\fP +Print the program version. +.TP +\fB\-y\fP [\fIalg\fP:]\fIname\fP:\fIkey\fP +Use the TSIG key with a name \fIname\fP to authenticate the request. The \fIalg\fP +part specifies the algorithm (the default is hmac\-sha256) and \fIkey\fP specifies +the shared secret encoded in Base64. +.UNINDENT +.SS Commands +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +\fBserver\fP \fIname\fP [\fIport\fP] +Specifies a receiving server of the dynamic update message. The \fIname\fP parameter +can be either a host name or an IP address. If the \fIport\fP is not specified, +the default port is used. The default port value can be controlled using +the \fB\-p\fP program option. +.TP +\fBlocal\fP \fIaddress\fP [\fIport\fP] +Specifies outgoing \fIaddress\fP and \fIport\fP\&. If no local is specified, the +address and port are set by the system automatically. The default port number +is 0. +.TP +\fBzone\fP \fIname\fP +Specifies that all updates are done within a zone \fIname\fP\&. The zone name doesn\(aqt +have a default and must be set explicitly. +.TP +\fBorigin\fP \fIname\fP +Specifies fully qualified domain name suffix which is appended to non\-fqd +owners in update commands. The default is the terminal label (\fB\&.\fP). +.TP +\fBclass\fP \fIname\fP +Sets \fIname\fP as the default class for all updates. If not used, the default +class is IN. +.TP +\fBttl\fP \fIvalue\fP +Sets \fIvalue\fP as the default TTL (in seconds). If not used, the default value +is 3600. +.TP +\fBkey\fP [\fIalg\fP:]\fIname\fP \fIkey\fP +Specifies the TSIG \fIkey\fP named \fIname\fP to authenticate the request. An optional +\fIalg\fP algorithm can be specified. This command has the same effect as +the program option \fB\-y\fP\&. +.TP +[\fBprereq\fP] \fBnxdomain\fP \fIname\fP +Adds a prerequisite for a non\-existing record owned by \fIname\fP\&. +.TP +[\fBprereq\fP] \fByxdomain\fP \fIname\fP +Adds a prerequisite for an existing record owned by \fIname\fP\&. +.TP +[\fBprereq\fP] \fBnxrrset\fP \fIname\fP [\fIclass\fP] \fItype\fP +Adds a prerequisite for a non\-existing record of the \fItype\fP owned by \fIname\fP\&. +Internet \fIclass\fP is expected. +.TP +[\fBprereq\fP] \fByxrrset\fP \fIname\fP [\fIclass\fP] \fItype\fP [\fIdata\fP] +Adds a prerequisite for an existing record of the \fItype\fP owned by \fIname\fP +with optional \fIdata\fP\&. Internet \fIclass\fP is expected. +.TP +[\fBupdate\fP] \fBadd\fP \fIname\fP [\fIttl\fP] [\fIclass\fP] \fItype\fP \fIdata\fP +Adds a request to add a new resource record into the zone. +Please note that if the \fIname\fP is not fully qualified domain name, the +current origin name is appended to it. +.TP +[\fBupdate\fP] \fBdel\fP[\fBete\fP] \fIname\fP [\fIttl\fP] [\fIclass\fP] [\fItype\fP] [\fIdata\fP] +Adds a request to remove all (or matching \fIclass\fP, \fItype\fP or \fIdata\fP) +resource records from the zone. There is the same requirement for the \fIname\fP +parameter as in \fBupdate add\fP command. The \fIttl\fP item is ignored. +.TP +\fBshow\fP +Displays current content of the update message. +.TP +\fBsend\fP +Sends the current update message and cleans the list of updates. +.TP +\fBanswer\fP +Displays the last answer from the server. +.TP +\fBdebug\fP +Enable debugging. This command has the same meaning as the \fB\-d\fP program option. +.TP +\fBexit\fP +End the program. +.UNINDENT +.SH NOTES +.sp +Options \fB\-k\fP and \fB\-y\fP can not be used simultaneously. +.sp +Dnssec\-keygen keyfile format is not supported. Use \fBkeymgr(8)\fP instead. +.sp +Zone name/server guessing is not supported if the zone name/server is not specified. +.sp +Empty line doesn\(aqt send the update. +.SS Interactive mode +.sp +The utility provides interactive mode with basic line editing functionality, +command completion, and command history. +.sp +Interactive mode behavior can be customized in \fI~/.editrc\fP\&. Refer to +\fBeditrc(5)\fP for details. +.sp +Command history is saved in \fI~/.knsupdate_history\fP\&. +.SH EXIT VALUES +.sp +Exit status of 0 means successful operation.
