NAME
       getzone - get dns zone from server

DESCRIPTION
       getzone transfers a user-specified dns zone from a zone server and
       displays it in csv1 format on the standard output. This program is here
       for compatibility with older setups that use getzone to get zone files;
       newer setups may wish to consider using the fetchzone tool to obtain
       csv2-compatible zone files.

USAGE
       getzone zone_name zone_server_IP [query_class]

OPTIONS
       zone_name

       Name of the dns zone to be transferred.

       zone_server_IP

       IP address of dns server

       query_class

       Optional argument which can change the query class from 1 (the default)
       to 255. This may be needed for some versions of Bind.

EXAMPLES
       To obtain the zone example.com from the server 192.168.9.8:

           getzone example.com 192.168.9.8


       To obtain the zone example.org from the server 10.9.8.78 using a query
       class of 255:

           getzone example.com 10.9.8.78 255
