 53    <para>
 54      <command>named-journalprint</command>
 55      prints the contents of a zone journal file in a human-readable
 56      form. 
 57    </para>
 58    <para>
 59      Journal files are automatically created by <command>named</command> 
 60      when changes are made to dynamic zones (e.g., by
 61      <command>nsupdate</command>).  They record each addition
 62      or deletion of a resource record, in binary format, allowing the
 63      changes to be re-applied to the zone when the server is
 64      restarted after a shutdown or crash.  By default, the name of
 65      the journal file is formed by appending the extension
 66      <filename>.jnl</filename> to the name of the corresponding
 67      zone file.
 68    </para>
 69    <para>
 70      <command>named-journalprint</command> converts the contents of a given
 71      journal file into a human-readable text format.  Each line begins
 72      with "add" or "del", to indicate whether the record was added or
 73      deleted, and continues with the resource record in master-file
 74      format.
