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