dnsdist 2.1.3
Syntax: dnsdist [-C,--config file] [-c,--client [IP[:PORT]]]
[-e,--execute cmd] [-h,--help] [-l,--local addr]
[-v,--verbose] [--check-config] [--version]
-a,--acl netmask Add this netmask to the ACL
-C,--config file Load configuration from 'file'
-c,--client Operate as a client, connect to dnsdist. This reads
controlSocket from your configuration file, but also
accepts an IP:PORT argument
-k,--setkey KEY Use KEY for encrypted communication to dnsdist. This
is similar to setting setKey in the configuration file.
NOTE: this will leak this key in your shell's history
and in the systems running process list.
--check-config Validate the configuration file and exit. The exit-code
reflects the validation, 0 is OK, 1 means an error.
Any errors are printed as well.
-e,--execute cmd Connect to dnsdist and execute 'cmd'
-g,--gid gid Change the process group ID after binding sockets
-h,--help Display this helpful message
-l,--local address Listen on this local address
--supervised Don't open a console, I'm supervised
(use with e.g. systemd and daemontools)
--disable-syslog Don't log to syslog, only to stdout
(use with e.g. systemd)
--log-timestamps Prepend timestamps to messages logged to stdout
--structured-logging true|false Whether to enable structured logging
--structured-logging-backend BACKEND The backend to use when structured logging is enabled
Supported values are 'default', 'json' and 'systemd-journal'
-u,--uid uid Change the process user ID after binding sockets
-v,--verbose Enable verbose mode
-V,--version Show dnsdist version information and exit
