knotd - Knot DNS server daemon
Knot DNS is a high-performance authoritative DNS server. The
knotd program is the DNS server daemon.
- -c, --config
file
- Use a textual configuration file (default is
/etc/knot/knot.conf).
- -C, --confdb
directory
- Use a binary configuration database directory (default is
/var/lib/knot/confdb). The default configuration database, if
exists, has a preference to the default configuration file.
- -m, --max-conf-size
MiB
- Set maximum size of the configuration database (default is 500 MiB,
maximum 10000 MiB).
- -s, --socket
path
- Use a remote control UNIX socket path (default is
/run/knot/knot.sock).
- -d, --daemonize
[directory]
- Run the server as a daemon. New root directory may be specified (default
is /).
- -v, --verbose
- Enable debug output.
- -h, --help
- Print the program help.
- -V, --version
- Print the program version.
If the knotd process receives a SIGHUP signal, it reloads
its configuration and reopens the log files, if they are configured. When
knotd receives a SIGUSR1 signal, it reloads all configured zones.
Upon receiving a SIGINT signal, knotd exits.
Exit status of 0 means successful operation. Any other exit status
indicates an error.
