ixplore is a tool to work with IXFR (incremental zonetransfers) in two modes (specified by COMMAND): diff
       or track.

       In the 'diff' mode, it will show a diff(1)-like output between BEFORE and AFTER.

       In  the  'track'  mode,  ixplore consumes IXFRs from IPADDRESS and writes the resulting zonefiles out to
       DIRECTORY/ZONE-serial. If no initial zonefiles exist, an initial AXFR will be done  first.  ixplore  will
       then  check  the  SOA  serial on IPADDRESS for ZONE every SOA Refresh seconds and perform an IXFR if the
       serial has increased.

ZONE   The name of the zone the IXFRs are consumed from.

       BEFORE Path to the 'before' zonefile.

       AFYER  Path to the 'after' zonefile.
