-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-\fBnamed\fR
-is a Domain Name System (DNS) server, part of the BIND 9 distribution from ISC. For more information on the DNS, see RFCs 1033, 1034, and 1035.
-.PP
-When invoked without arguments,
-\fBnamed\fR
-will read the default configuration file
-\fI/etc/named.conf\fR, read any initial data, and listen for queries.
-.SH "OPTIONS"
-.TP
-\-4
-Use IPv4 only even if the host machine is capable of IPv6.
-\fB\-4\fR
-and
-\fB\-6\fR
-are mutually exclusive.
-.TP
-\-6
-Use IPv6 only even if the host machine is capable of IPv4.
-\fB\-4\fR
-and
-\fB\-6\fR
-are mutually exclusive.
-.TP
-\-c \fIconfig\-file\fR
-Use
-\fIconfig\-file\fR
-as the configuration file instead of the default,
-\fI/etc/named.conf\fR. To ensure that reloading the configuration file continues to work after the server has changed its working directory due to to a possible
-\fBdirectory\fR
-option in the configuration file,
-\fIconfig\-file\fR
-should be an absolute pathname.
-.TP
-\-d \fIdebug\-level\fR
-Set the daemon's debug level to
-\fIdebug\-level\fR. Debugging traces from
-\fBnamed\fR
-become more verbose as the debug level increases.
-.TP
-\-f
-Run the server in the foreground (i.e. do not daemonize).
-.TP
-\-g
-Run the server in the foreground and force all logging to
-\fIstderr\fR.
-.TP
-\-n \fI#cpus\fR
-Create
-\fI#cpus\fR
-worker threads to take advantage of multiple CPUs. If not specified,
-\fBnamed\fR
-will try to determine the number of CPUs present and create one thread per CPU. If it is unable to determine the number of CPUs, a single worker thread will be created.
-.TP
-\-p \fIport\fR
-Listen for queries on port
-\fIport\fR. If not specified, the default is port 53.
-.TP
-\-s
-Write memory usage statistics to
-\fIstdout\fR
-on exit.
-.RS
-.B "Note:"
-This option is mainly of interest to BIND 9 developers and may be removed or changed in a future release.
-.RE
-.TP
-\-t \fIdirectory\fR
-\fBchroot()\fR
-to
-\fIdirectory\fR
-after processing the command line arguments, but before reading the configuration file.
-.RS
-.B "Warning:"
-This option should be used in conjunction with the
-\fB\-u\fR
-option, as chrooting a process running as root doesn't enhance security on most systems; the way
-\fBchroot()\fR
-is defined allows a process with root privileges to escape a chroot jail.
-.RE
-.TP
-\-u \fIuser\fR
-\fBsetuid()\fR
-to
-\fIuser\fR
-after completing privileged operations, such as creating sockets that listen on privileged ports.
-.RS
-.B "Note:"
-On Linux,
-\fBnamed\fR
-uses the kernel's capability mechanism to drop all root privileges except the ability to
-\fBbind()\fR
-to a privileged port and set process resource limits. Unfortunately, this means that the
-\fB\-u\fR
-option only works when
-\fBnamed\fR
-is run on kernel 2.2.18 or later, or kernel 2.3.99\-pre3 or later, since previous kernels did not allow privileges to be retained after
-\fBsetuid()\fR.
-.RE
-.TP
-\-v
-Report the version number and exit.
-.TP
-\-x \fIcache\-file\fR
-Load data from
-\fIcache\-file\fR
-into the cache of the default view.
-.RS
-.B "Warning:"
-This option must not be used. It is only of interest to BIND 9 developers and may be removed or changed in a future release.
-.RE
-.SH "SIGNALS"
-.PP
-In routine operation, signals should not be used to control the nameserver;
-\fBrndc\fR
-should be used instead.
-.TP
-SIGHUP
-Force a reload of the server.
-.TP
-SIGINT, SIGTERM
-Shut down the server.
-.PP
-The result of sending any other signals to the server is undefined.
-.SH "CONFIGURATION"
-.PP
-The
-\fBnamed\fR
-configuration file is too complex to describe in detail here. A complete description is provided in the
-BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual.
-.SH "FILES"
-.TP
-\fI/etc/named.conf\fR
-The default configuration file.
-.TP
-\fI/var/run/named.pid\fR
-The default process\-id file.
-.SH "SEE ALSO"
