<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
<command>named-journalprint</command>
prints the contents of a zone journal file in a human-readable
form.
</para>
<para>
Journal files are automatically created by <command>named</command>
when changes are made to dynamic zones (e.g., by
<command>nsupdate</command>). 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
<filename>.jnl</filename> to the name of the corresponding
zone file.
</para>
<para>
<command>named-journalprint</command> converts the contents of a given
journal file into a human-readable text format. Each line begins
with "add" or "del", to indicate whether the record was added or
deleted, and continues with the resource record in master-file
format.
