52    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
53    <para>
54      <command>named-journalprint</command>
55      prints the contents of a zone journal file in a human-readable
56      form.
57    </para>
58    <para>
59      Journal files are automatically created by <command>named</command>
60      when changes are made to dynamic zones (e.g., by
61      <command>nsupdate</command>).  They record each addition
62      or deletion of a resource record, in binary format, allowing the
63      changes to be re-applied to the zone when the server is
64      restarted after a shutdown or crash.  By default, the name of
65      the journal file is formed by appending the extension
66      <filename>.jnl</filename> to the name of the corresponding
67      zone file.
68    </para>
69    <para>
70      <command>named-journalprint</command> converts the contents of a given
71      journal file into a human-readable text format.  Each line begins
72      with "add" or "del", to indicate whether the record was added or
73      deleted, and continues with the resource record in master-file
74      format.
