WALK(5) 							File Formats Manual							   WALK(5)

NAME

       walk - descend a directory hierarchy

SYNOPSIS

       Twalk  tag[2] fid[2] name[28]
       Rwalk  tag[2] fid[2] qid[8]

DESCRIPTION

       The walk request looks for the file name in the directory represented by fid.

       For the walk to succeed, the file identified by fid must be a directory, and the implied user of the request must have permission to search
       the directory (see intro(5)).

       After a successful walk, fid represents the specified file.  The qid for the new file is returned with the walk reply message.

       A walk of the name ..  in the root directory of a server is a no-op.

ENTRY POINTS

       A call to chdir(2) causes a walk.  One or more walk messages may be generated by any of the following calls,  which  evaluate  file  names:
       bind,  create, exec, mount, open, remove, stat, unmount, wstat.	The file name element .  (dot) is interpreted locally and is not transmit-
       ted in walk messages.

NAME

       ldns-walk - Retrieve the contents of a DNSSEC signed zone

SYNOPSIS

       ldns-walk [ OPTION ] ZONE

DESCRIPTION

       ldns-walk  is  used  to	retrieve  the  contents  of  a DNSSEC signed zone.  It does this through NSEC-walking (following the chain of NSEC
       records) and 'guessing' the next non-existent owner name for each NSEC.

       Note that it might get stuck on some wildcard records when used through a caching forwarder. This problem can be circumvented  by  querying
       the authoritative nameserver directly (with the @ argument).

       Of course the nameserver that is used must be DNSSEC-aware.

OPTIONS

       -f     Do  a  'full'  zone walk; by default, ldns-walk will only show the names, and types present at those names. If this option is given,
	      all resource records will be printed.

       -s name
	      Start the walk with this owner name. Useful when continuing the walk for a large zone.

       @ nameserver
	      Send the queries to this nameserver.

BUGS

       The full zone walk function is not complete yet, it does not correctly print delegation records
