ldnsd(1)

🌸 ldnsd — bestie edition 💅

okay so you're reading the manual page for ldnsd (that's the command, section 1 of the manual, General Commands Manual energy) and honestly? it's a lil baby daemon and we're gonna be so normal about it. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ldnsd — simple daemon example code. that's it, that's the whole name section. lowkey iconic for being that brief 💖

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

ldnsd port zone zonefile

that's the whole vibe check. three little arguments, no flags, no drama, no cap ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so ldnsd is a simple daemon that answers queries for a zone. that's literally its whole job. it wakes up, it answers queries for the zone you gave it, it goes back to sleep. main character behavior but make it minimal 🎀

⚠️ bestie LISTEN. this is NOT a full-fledged authoritative nameserver! like, do not run this in production, do not put your whole domain's reputation on it, it is example code. it said what it said 💀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

ngl the options section is kinda serving "there are no options" and i respect it:

• port, zone, zonefile — ldnsd takes a port, a zone, and a zonefile as its arguments. that's the whole menu, bestie. no --help, no -v, no secret extra flags hiding in the back. three positional args and we move on ✨

👑 AUTHOR 👑

Written by the ldns team as an example for ldns usage. so basically they made it to show you how it's done, and it ate 🔥

aaaand that's the whole page, bestie!! 🌸 it's from the General Commands Manual, dated 27 Apr 2005 (yes, 2005, it's vintage, it's a classic, it's giving elder statesman of daemons 🧚), and it lives at ldnsd(1). go forth and answer some zone queries, but like... not in production. mwah 💖✨
