🌸 SAXFR(1) — NAME 🎀

okay bestie, this is the SAXFR(1) manual page, and the star of the show is saxfr. its whole thing? doing zone transfers and spilling the tea about what came back. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the vibe is literally:

saxfr IPADDRESS PORT ZONE [Options]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so saxfr does a zone-transfer (AXFR) of ZONE from the nameserver at IPADDRESS on port PORT, and then it displays the transferred zone with NSEC3 information truncated. yes, truncated. if you wanna see that info, look below, because the options are right there. 🦋

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • showdetails — show all the data in the NSEC3 and DNSKEY RDATA. all of it. no crumbs left behind. 👑
  • showflags — show the NSEC3 flags in the RDATA. flags, but make it NSEC3. 🎀
  • unhash — unhash the NSEC3 names to the normal names. turning the cryptic back into the regular, periodt. 💖
