💜 OPTIONS 💜

you get to pick your options, bestie, and here's every single one, no skips:

• --help — show a summary of the options. tiny little rundown, very demure, very mindful. 🎀
• --basedn=<DN> — the base DN where the objects get stored below. where they live, basically. 🏠
• --dnsttl — adds a dnsttl attribute to every entry. not some entries. every single one. 💀
• --layout=<layout> — this is how you arrange the entries in the directory. your choices are "simple" or "tree". pick your layout, it's giving interior design. 🌈
• --named-conf=<PATH> — the path to a BIND named.conf for her to parse. feed her the file, she'll do the rest. 🍓
• --resume — continue after errors. she's resilient like that. 😭
• --verbose — verbose comments on the operation. she will tell you everything she's doing, in detail, and honestly? obsessed with a transparent queen. 🫶
• --zone-file=<PATH> — the zone file to parse. 🦋
• --zone-name=<NAME> — specify a zone name if the zone is set. iykyk. ✨
