     _N_a_m_e_d-_x_f_e_r is an ancillary program executed by  _i_n._n_a_m_e_d(1m)
     to  perform an inbound zone transfer.  It is rarely executed
     directly, and only by system administrators who  are  trying
     to debug a zone transfer problem.  See RFC's 1033, 1034, and
     1035 for more information on the Internet  name-domain  sys-
     tem.

     Options are:

     ----zzzz    specifies the name of the zone to be transferred.

     ----ffff    specifies the name of the file  into  which  the  zone
          should  be  dumped when it is received from the primary
          server.

     ----ssss    specifies the serial number of  our  current  copy  of
          this  zone.   If  the  SOA  RR  we get from the primary
          server does not have a serial number higher than  this,
          the transfer will be aborted.

     ----dddd    Print debugging information.  A number after the ``d''
          determines the level of messages printed.

     ----llll    Specifies a log  file  for  debugging  messages.   The
          default is system- dependent but is usually in /_v_a_r/_t_m_p
          or /_u_s_r/_t_m_p.  Note that this only applies if -_d is also
          specified.

     ----tttt    Specifies a trace file which will contain  a  protocol
          trace  of  the zone transfer.  This is probably only of
          interest to people debugging the name server itself.

     ----pppp    Use a different port number.  The default is the stan-
          dard  port  number as returned by getservbyname(3n) for
          service ``domain''.

     ----SSSS    Perform a restricted transfer  of  only  the  SOA,  NS
          records and glue A records for the zone. The SOA record
          will not be loaded by named but will be used to  deter-
          mine  when to verify the NS records.  See the ``stubs''
          directive in _i_n._n_a_m_e_d(1m) for more information.

     Additional arguments are taken as name server  addresses  in
     so-called  ``dotted-quad''  syntax  only;  no  host name are
     allowed here.  At least one address must be specified.   Any
     additional addresses will be tried in order if the first one
     fails to transfer to us successfully.
