ldns-read-zone  reads  a  DNS  zone file and prints it. The output has 1 resource record per line, and no
       pretty-printing makeup.

       ldns-read-zone - read a zonefile and print it

-0     Print a (null) for the RRSIG inception, expiry  and  key  data.  This  option  can  be  used  when
              comparing  different  signing  systems  that  use  the  same  DNSKEYs for signing but would have a
              slightly different timings/jitter.

       -b     Include Bubble Babble encoding of DS's.

       -c     Canonicalize all resource records in the zone before printing

       -d     Only print DNSSEC data from the zone. This option skips every record that is  not  of  type  NSEC,
              NSEC3 or RRSIG. DNSKEY and DS records are not printed.

       -eRRtype
              Do  not print RRs of the given rrtype.  This option may be given multiple times.  -e is not meant
              to be used together with -E.

       -ERRtype
              Print only RRs of the given rrtype.  This option may be given multiple times.  -E is not meant to
              be used together with -e.

       -h     Show usage and exit

       -n     Do not print the SOA record

       -p     Pad the SOA serial number with spaces so the number and the spaces together take  ten  characters.
              This is useful for in file serial number increments.

       -s     Strip  DNSSEC  data  from  the zone. This option skips every record that is of type NSEC, NSEC3 or
              RRSIG. DNSKEY and DS records are still printed.

       -S[[+|0]number|YYYYMMDDxx|unixtime]
              Set serial number to the given number, or when preceded by a sign, offset the existing number with
              it. When giving the literal strings YYYYMMDDxx or unixtime, the serial number is tried to be reset
              in datecounter or in unixtime format respectively. Though is the updated serial number is  smaller
              than the original one, the original one is simply increased by one.

              When  updating a serial number, records of type NSEC, NSEC3, RRSIG and DNSKEY will be skipped when
              printing the zone.

       -uRRtype
              Mark RRtype for printing in unknown type format.

              -u is not meant to be used together with -U.

       -URRtype
              Mark RRtype for not printing in unknown type format.

              The first occurrence of the -U option marks all RR types  for  printing  in  unknown  type  format
              except  for  the given RRtype.  Subsequent -U options will clear the mark for those RRtypes too,
              so that only the given RRtypes will be printed in the presentation format specific for  those  RRtypes.

              -U is not meant to be used together with -u.

       -v     Show the version and exit

       -z     Sort the zone before printing (this implies -c)
