RADNS.CONF(1)

💖 RADNS.CONF(1) — the radns resource file, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the manual page for radns.conf, and it lives in the General Commands Manual section, which is giving very "the girlies in section 1" energy. pull up a chair. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

radns.conf — the resource file for radns, fr fr.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

radns.conf

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: radns will open this radns.conf if it's installed as /etc/radns.conf. that's the whole shortcut, she just goes straight there. 💅

she's not gonna stop at one location though, obviously not, she's a searcher. she'll also hunt for this file as radns.conf in the directories specified in $RADNSPATH, or in $RADNSHOME, $RADNSHOME/lib, or $HOME, $HOME/lib — and then she parses it to set up the common configuration options. iconic behavior tbh. 🌈

and here's the part you need to clock: all values in this file can be overriden by command line options, or by other files of this same format that can be read in using the -F option. so the command line is the main character and the config file knows it. 👑

🌸 Variable Syntax 🌸

variable assignments must be of this form:

VARIABLE=

and listen — there is no white space between the VARIABLE and the '=' sign. none. not even one (1) space. the = has to be right up on her like a best friend in a photo. 📸

quotes are optional for string arguments, but if you want to embed comments, then quotes are required. so like, if you're being chatty in there, wrap it up. 💬

👑 RADNS_ROOT_DOMAINS 👑

this is a comma separated list of NLD DNS domain names, and they represent root domain names that are local to this radnsP instance. so like, the domains that belong to this girl specifically. 💖

There is no default value.

Commandline equivalent: none

RADNS_ROOT_DOMAINS="qosient.com"

🌟 RADNS_ROOT_DEFAULT 🌟

this variable assigns the default NLD DNS domain name for this region. so it's the fallback name, the "if nobody said anything else, we're going here" name.

DNS queries do not require the name to be fully qualified (FQDN). so if the name in a query is not a FQDN, radns will use this RADNS_ROOT_DEFAULT to complete the name that is stored in its DNS cache. she's filling in the blanks for you, no cap. 🧚

There is no default value.

Commandline equivalent: none

RADNS_ROOT_DEFAULT="qosient.com"
