35<p>
36      <span><strong class="command">named-journalprint</strong></span>
37      prints the contents of a zone journal file in a human-readable
38      form.
39    </p>
40<p>
41      Journal files are automatically created by <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>
42      when changes are made to dynamic zones (e.g., by
43      <span><strong class="command">nsupdate</strong></span>).  They record each addition
44      or deletion of a resource record, in binary format, allowing the
45      changes to be re-applied to the zone when the server is
46      restarted after a shutdown or crash.  By default, the name of
47      the journal file is formed by appending the extension
48      <code class="filename">.jnl</code> to the name of the corresponding
49      zone file.
50    </p>
51<p>
52      <span><strong class="command">named-journalprint</strong></span> converts the contents of a given
53      journal file into a human-readable text format.  Each line begins
54      with "add" or "del", to indicate whether the record was added or
55      deleted, and continues with the resource record in master-file
56      format.
