NAME
       mydnsimport - Import zone data from external sources.

SYNOPSIS
       mydnsimport [-a,	--axfr=host] [-D, --database=dbname] [-h, --host=host-
       name] [-o, --output] [-p, --password[=password]]	[-r,  --replace]  [-t,
       --tinydns=file]	 [--notrim]   [-u,  --user=username]  [-v,  --verbose]
       [--help]	[--version] ZONE [...]

DESCRIPTION
       mydnsimport imports zone	data into MyDNS	from an	external  source.   If
       an  import technique is specified (for example, via the --axfr option),
       the specified zone data will be loaded and  mydnsimport	will  add  the
       zone data to your database.

       Currently,  --axfr  and --tinydns are the only import techniques	recog-
       nized.

OPTIONS
       -a, --axfr=hostname[:port]
	      Load zone	information from the specified hostname	via  the  DNS-
	      based AXFR command.

       -o, --output
	      If  this option is specified, mydnsimport	outputs	zone data in a
	      computer-friendly	format	instead	 of  modifying	the  database.
	      Each  line  of  output consists of a line	type (soa, rr, or ptr)
	      followed by multiple fields.  Fields within each line are	 sepa-
	      rated  by	 the TAB (ASCII	0x09) character.  See LINE SYNTAX, be-
	      low.

       -r, --replace
	      When importing, if the zone specified already  exists,  mydnsim-
	      port  will  refuse  to  make changes to the database unless this
	      flag is provided.	 When this flag	is provided, if	the  zone  al-
	      ready  exists, its SOA record will be updated (from the external
	      source), all resource records for	that zone are  purged,	and  a
	      new set of resource records is loaded from the external source.

       --notrim
	      Normally	the zone origin	is removed from	labels when importing,
	      in order to  save	 space	in  the	 database.   In	 other	words,
	      host.example.com.	 becomes just host.  Using the --notrim	option
	      inhibits this behavior.

       -D, --database=dbname
	      Use the database called dbname.

       -h, --host=hostname
	      Connect to database server at hostname.

       -p, --pass=password
	      Supply password when connecting to the database server.  If  the
	      password argument	is omitted, it will be prompted	on the tty.

       -t, --tinydns=file
	      Load  zone  information  from  the  specified  file, which is in
	      tinydns-data format.  When importing from	a tinydns  data	 file,
	      zone  may	 be  omitted  from the command line, in	which case all
	      zones found in the file are imported.

       -u, --user=username
	      Use username when	connecting to the database server.

       -v, --verbose
	      Enable verbose output while running.

       --help Display program help and exit.

       --version
	      Output version number and	exit.

LINE SYNTAX
       When started with the -o	(--output) option, mydnsimport	outputs	 lines
       in the following	format:

       SOA    "soa"  <TAB>  origin  <TAB> ns <TAB> mbox	<TAB> serial <TAB> re-
	      fresh <TAB> retry	<TAB> expire <TAB> minimum <TAB> ttl

       RR     "rr" <TAB> name <TAB> type <TAB> data <TAB> aux <TAB> ttl

       PTR    "ptr" <TAB> address <TAB>	name <TAB> ttl
