NAME
mydns - SQL-based Internet name daemon.

SYNOPSIS
mydns [-b, --background] [-c, --conf=filename] [-d, --debug] [-D, --database=dbname] [-h, --host=hostname] [-p, --password[=password]] [-u, --user=username] [-v, --verbose] [--create-tables] [--dump-config] [--help] [--version]

DESCRIPTION
mydns is a SQL-based DNS server.

OPTIONS

-b, --background
    Run in the background, as a daemon.

-c, --conf=filename
    Read configuration from filename instead of the default (/usr/pkg/etc/mydns.conf). Consult mydns.conf(5) for information about configuring mydns.

-d, --debug
    Output huge amounts of diagnostic text while running. This option is only available if MyDNS was configured with the --enable-debug option.

-D, --database=dbname
    Use the database called dbname.

-h, --host=hostname
    Connect to database server at hostname.

-p, --pass=password
    Supply password when connecting to the database server. If the password argument is omitted, it will be prompted on the tty.

-u, --user=username
    Use username when connecting to the database server.

-v, --verbose
    Enable verbose output while running.

--create-tables
    Write CREATE TABLE statements suitable for creating the tables used by mydns to the standard output and exit.

--dump-config
    Read the current configuration (if any). Dump all possible configuration options to the standard output, with current values filled in. For options not presently configured, the internal defaults will be used. Output is in mydns.conf format, which is handy for creating a mydns.conf template.

--help
    Display program help and exit.

--version
    Output version number and exit.

FILES
/usr/pkg/etc/mydns.conf
    The default location of the configuration file. (See mydns.conf(5))
