   4 == What is it? ==
   5
   6 This is a fork of Magnus Bodin's simple utility to validate
   7 tinydns-data files. The original has not been updated in many years.
   8
   9 == How do I install it? ==
  10
  11 It's a Perl script, so download it and put it in your $PATH. It comes
  12 with a man page that can be installed to your system's $MANPATH as
  13 well.
  14
  15 == How do I use it? ==
  16
  17 Run it on your tinydns-data files. If it finds errors, it will complain:
  18
  19   $ valtz example.com.tinydns
  20     File example.com.tinydns
  21       line 1; err 32 @example.com.::127.0.0.1:
  22         expected: fqdn:ip:x:dist:ttl:timestamp:lo
  23         pos 2; x; IP address found where hostname expected
  24   $ echo $?
  25   1
  26
  27 If it doesn't, it won't:
  28
  29   $ valtz example.org.tinydns
  30   $ echo $?
  31   0
  32
  33 For more details, see the included man page.
