+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ndc
+.Nd name daemon control program
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm ndc
+.Op Fl c Ar channel
+.Op Fl l Ar localsock
+.Op Fl p Ar pidfile
+.Op Fl d
+.Op Fl q
+.Op Fl s
+.Op Fl t
+.Op Ar command
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This command allows the system administrator to control the operation
+of a name server.  If no
+.Ar command
+is given,
+.Ic ndc
+will prompt for commands until it reads EOF.
+.Pp
+Options are:
+.Bl -tag -width Fl
+.It Fl c Ar channel
+Specifies the rendezvous point for the control channel.  The default is
+.Pa /var/run/ndc
+(a UNIX domain socket which is also the server's default control channel).
+If the desired control channel is a TCP/IP socket, then the format of the
+.Ar channel
+argument is
+.Sy ipaddr/port
+(for example,
+.Sy 127.0.0.1/54
+would be TCP port 54 on the local host.)
+.It Fl l Ar localsock
+This option will
+.Xr bind 2
+the client side of the control channel to a specific address.  Servers can
+be configured to reject connections which do not come from specific addresses.
+The format is the same as for
+.Ar channel
+(see above).
+.It Fl p Ar pidfile
+For backward compatibility with older name servers,
+.Ic ndc
+is able to use UNIX signals for control communications.  This capability is
+optional in modern name servers and will disappear altogether at some future
+time.  Note that the available
+.Ar command
+set is narrower when the signal interface is used.  A likely
+.Ar pidfile
+argument would be something like
+.Pa /var/run/named.pid .
+.It Fl d
+Turns on debugging output, which is of interest mainly to developers.
+.It Fl q
+Suppresses prompts and result text.
+.It Fl s
+Suppresses nonfatal error announcements.
+.It Fl t
+Turns on protocol and system tracing, useful in installation debugging.
+.El
+.Sh COMMANDS
+Several commands are built into
+.Ic ndc ,
+but the full set of commands supported by the name server is dynamic and
+should be discovered using the
+.Ar help
+command (see below).  Builtin commands are:
+.Bl -tag -width Fl
+.It Ar /help
+Provides help for builtin commands.
+.It Ar /exit
+Exit from
+.Ic ndc
+command interpreter.
+.It Ar /trace
+Toggle tracing (see
+.Fl -t
+description above).
+.It Ar /debug
+Toggle debugging (see
+.Fl d
+description above).
+.It Ar /quiet
+Toggle quietude (see
+.Fl q
+description above).
+.It Ar /silent
+Toggle silence (see
+.Fl s
+description above).
+.El
+.Sh NOTES
+If running in
+.Ar pidfile
+mode, any arguments to
+.Ar start
+and
+.Ar restart
+commands are passed to the new
+.Ic named
+on its command line.  If running in
+.Ar channel
+mode, there is no
+.Ar start
+command and the
+.Ar restart
+command just tells the name server to
+.Xr execvp 2
+itself.
