+.SH NAME
+ndc \- name daemon control interface
+.SH SYNOPSYS
+.B ndc
+.I directive
+[ ... ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This command allows the name server administrator to send various signals
+to the name server, or to restart it. Zero or more directives may be given,
+from the following list:
+.TP
+.B status
+Displays the current status of
+.B named
+as shown by
+.BR ps (1).
+.TP
+.B dumpdb
+Causes
+.B named
+to dump its database and cache to
+.B /var/tmp/named_dump.db
+(uses the INT signal.)
+.TP
+.B reload
+Causes
+.B named
+to check the serial numbers of all primary and secondary zones
+and to reload those that have changed (uses the HUP signal.)
+.TP
+.B stats
+Causes
+.B named
+to dump its statistics to
+.B /var/tmp/named.stats
+(uses the IOT or ABRT signal.)
+.TP
+.B trace
+Causes
+.B named
+to increment its ``tracing level'' by one. Whenever the tracing level
+is nonzero, trace information will be written to
+.BR /var/tmp/named.run .
+Higher tracing levels result in more detailed information.
+(Uses the USR1 signal.)
+.TP
+.B notrace
+Causes
+.B named
+to set its ``tracing level'' to zero, closing
+.B /var/tmp/named.run
+if it is open (uses the USR2 signal.)
+.TP
+.B querylog
+Causes
+.B named
+to toggle the ``query logging'' feature, which while on will result in a
+.BR syslog (3)
+of each incoming query (uses the WINCH signal.) Note that query logging
+consumes quite a lot of log file space. This directive may also be given as
+.BR qrylog .
+.TP
+.B start
+Causes
+.B named
+to be started, as long as it isn't already running.
+.TP
+.B stop
+Causes
+.B named
+to be stopped, if it is running.
+.TP
+.B restart
+Causes
+.B named
+to be killed and restarted.
+.SH BUGS
+Arguments to
+.B named
+are not preserved by
+.BR restart ,
+or known by
+.BR start .
+Some mechanism for controlling the parameters and environment should exist.
+.PP
+Implemented as a
+.BR sh (1)
+script.
