NAME
       ldns-compare-zones  -  read and compare two zonefiles and print differ‐
       ences

SYNOPSIS
       ldns-compare-zones [-c] [-i] [-d] [-z] [-s] ZONEFILE1 ZONEFILE2

DESCRIPTION
       ldns-compare-zones reads two DNS zone files and prints number  of  dif‐
       ferences.
       Output is formated to:
	       +NUM_INS	       -NUM_DEL	       ~NUM_CHG

       The  major  comparison  is based on the owner name. If an owner name is
       present in zonefile 1, but not in zonefile 2, the resource records with
       this  owner  name are considered deleted, and counted as NUM_DEL. If an
       owner name is present in	 zonefile  2,  but  not	 in  zonefile  1,  the
       resource	 records  with	this  owner  name are considered inserted, and
       counted as NUM_INS. If an owner name is present in both, but there is a
       difference  in  the amount or content of the records, these are consid‐
       ered changed, and counted as NUM_CHG.

OPTIONS
       -c     Print resource records whose owner names are in both zone files,
	      but with different resource records. (a.k.a. changed)

       -i     Print  resource  records	whose  owner names are present only in
	      ZONEFILE2 (a.k.a. inserted)

       -d     Print resource records whose owner names	are  present  only  in
	      ZONEFILE1 (a.k.a. deleted)

       -a     Print  all changes. Specifying this option is the same as speci‐
	      fying -c -i amd -d.

       -z     Suppress zone sorting; this option is not	 recommended;  it  can
	      cause  records to be incorrectly marked as changed, depending of
	      the nature of the changes.

       -s     Do not exclude the SOA record  from  the	comparison.   The  SOA
	      record  may  then show up as changed due to a new serial number.
	      Off by default since you may be interested  to  know  if	(other
	      zone apex elements) have changed.

       -h     Show usage and exit

       -v     Show the version and exit
