💖 GETZONE(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for getzone — that's the little guy from the getzone manual, section 1. sit down, grab a strawberry, we're gonna talk DNS 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

getzone — get dns zone from server 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so getzone transfers a user-specified dns zone from a zone server and displays it in csv1 format on the standard output. that's it, that's the whole job. 💅

ngl this program is here for compatibility with older setups that use getzone to get zone files. it's giving legacy icon. if you're on a newer setup, you may wish to consider using the fetchzone tool instead, because fetchzone gets you csv2-compatible zone files. newer is not always better but here it lowkey is 🫶

🎀 USAGE 🎀

getzone zone_name zone_server_IP [query_class]

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • zone_name — the name of the dns zone you wanna transfer. that's the vibe. ✨
  • zone_server_IP — the IP address of the dns server. where we're pulling from, bestie. 📍
  • query_class — optional argument, and the way it works is it can change the query class from 1 (the default) to 255. this may be needed for some versions of Bind. not me needing a whole different query class just for Bind 😭

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

want the zone example.com from the server 192.168.9.8? say less:

getzone example.com 192.168.9.8

want the zone example.org from the server 10.9.8.78 using a query class of 255? okay periodt:

getzone example.com 10.9.8.78 255
💀 heads up bestie, that second example is written exactly as the original has it — it says example.org in the sentence and example.com in the command. i'm just the messenger, i do not edit, i do not fix, i keep every character. no cap.

translation: it's yours, it's free, and if it eats your zone file that's on you, not them 🫠
