EXPCHK(1)

📦 version 2.2.3, in arch rolling

🎀 expchk — check a keyrec file for expired zones 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the EXPCHK(1) manual page — this is the User Contributed Perl Documentation era, and we're checking keyrec files for expired zones. no cap, it's giving "quiet little utility that tells you what's expired" energy. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

expchk — check a keyrec file for expired zones. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

expchk -all -expired -valid -warn numdays -zone zonename -count -help keyrec_files

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So expchk checks a set of keyrec_files to figure out if the zone keyrecs are valid or expired. The type of zones it displays depends on the options you choose. If you give it no options at all, it lists the expired zones — that's the default vibe. periodt. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -all — show expiration info for all the zones in the specified keyrec_files, whether they're expired or valid. both flavors, no discrimination. 💖
  • -expired — show expiration info for the expired zones in the specified keyrec_files. this is the default action, so it's the main character if you don't pick anything else. 😭
  • -valid — show expiration info for the valid zones in the specified keyrec_files. the unexpired girlies get their moment. 🌸
  • -warn numdays — gives you a warning for each valid zone that will expire in numdays days. highkey useful for future-tripping. this option has no effect on expired zones, so don't expect it to warn you about the already-expired ones. 💀
  • -zone zonename — show expiration info for the zone specified in zonename. one specific zone, zero distractions. 🎀
  • -count — only gives you the count of matching zones (valid or expired). if both types of zones are selected, then the count will be the number of zones in the specified keyrec_files. just the number, ma'am. 🔥
  • -help — displays a usage message. the "help me help you" option. 🫶
  • -Version — displays the version information for expchk and the DNSSEC-Tools package. capital V, bestie, keep it cute. ⭐
