       named [[-4] | [-6]] [-c config-file] [-d debug-level] [-D string] [-E engine-name] [-f]

       When invoked without arguments, named will read the default configuration file




       -c config-file
           configuration file, config-file should be an absolute pathname.

       -d debug-level
           verbose as the debug level increases.

       -D string
           The contents of string are not examined.

       -E engine-name
           secure key store used for signing.

           which identifies an OpenSSL engine that can drive a cryptographic accelerator or
           specified via "--with-pkcs11".



       -L logfile
           Log to the file logfile by default instead of the system log.

       -M option
           system-provided memory allocation functions.

       -m flag

       -n #cpus

       -p port

           Write memory usage statistics to stdout on exit.

               changed in a future release.

       -S #max-socks

               configuration causes exhaustion of file descriptors and the operational
               because named reserves some file descriptors for its internal use.

       -t directory
           the configuration file.


       -U #listeners
           CPUs: 1 for 1 CPU, and the number of detected CPUs minus one for machines with more
           than 1 CPU. This cannot be increased to a value higher than the number of CPUs. If -n
           increased as high as that value, but no higher. On Windows, the number of UDP
           listeners is hardwired to 1 and this option has no effect.

       -u user
           listen on privileged ports.


           Report the version number and exit.

           Report the version number and build options, and exit.

       -X lock-file
           Acquire a lock on the specified file at runtime; this helps to prevent duplicate named
           instances from running simultaneously. Use of this option overrides the lock-file
           option in named.conf. If set to none, the lock file check is disabled.

       -x cache-file

               be removed or changed in a future release.


       used instead.

           Force a reload of the server.

           Shut down the server.
