-valtz 0.8
-============================================================
+valtz 0.8 - a simple tool to validate tinydns-data files
+========================================================
 
-Validation tool for tinydns-data zone files.
+== What is it? ==
 
-Usage:
+This is a fork of Magnus Bodin's simple utility to validate
+tinydns-data files. The original has not been updated in many years.
 
-  Simple validation:
-    valtz [-qrRi] <zonefiles>
+== How do I install it? ==
 
-  Simple filtering:
-    valtz -f[qrRiItT] <zonefiles>
+It's a Perl script, so download it and put it in your $PATH. It comes
+with a man page that can be installed to your system's $MANPATH as
+well.
 
-  Extensive filtering:
-    valtz -F[qrRiItT] <filterfiles>
+== How do I use it? ==
 
-General usage:
-    valtz [-hfFqrRiItT] <file(s)>
+Run it on your tinydns-data files. If it finds errors, it will complain:
 
-  -h shows this help.
+  $ valtz example.com.tinydns
+    File example.com.tinydns
+      line 1; err 32 @example.com.::127.0.0.1:
+        expected: fqdn:ip:x:dist:ttl:timestamp:lo
+        pos 2; x; IP address found where hostname expected
+  $ echo $?
+  1
 
+If it doesn't, it won't:
 
-  -f filter (don't just validate) file and output accepted lines to STDOUT.
+  $ valtz example.org.tinydns
+  $ echo $?
+  0
 
+For more details, see the included man page.
 
-  -F treat files as filter configuration files for more advanced filtering.
-     These filterfiles one or several of the following filter directives:
+== How do I report bugs? ==
 
-     zonefile <zonefilepath>
-     zonefile file:<path to textfile including zonefilepaths>
-        Defines the file(s) to be filtered. Can be a globbed value, like
-        /var/zones/external/*
-
-     extralog <logfile>
-        Defines an extra logfile that the STDERR output will be copied for
-        this specific filterfile. Useful if you have a lot of filterfiles
-        and want to separate the logs.
-
-     deny <zonepattern>
-     deny file:<path to <zonepatternfile>
-        Defines a zonepattern to explicitly DENY after implicitly allowing all.
-        (cannot be combined with allow)
-
-     allow <zonepattern>
-     allow file:<path to <zonepatternfile>
-        Defines a zonepattern to explicitly ALLOW after implicitly denying all.
-
-     allowtype <recordtype character(s)>
-        Explicitly sets the allowed recordtypes. Note that even comments
-        has to be allowed (but these will not result in errors unless -t)
-        to be copied to the output.
-
-     Multiple zonefile, allow- and deny-lines are allowed, but also the
-     alternative file:-line that points to a textfile containing one
-     value per line.
-
-
-  -r allows fqdn to be empty thus denoting the root.
-     This is also allowed per default when doing implict allow - see deny,
-     or when specifying 'allow .', i.e. explictly allowing root as such.
-     (cannot be combined with deny)
-
-
-  -R relaxes the validation and allows empty mname and p-fields.xi
-     This is probably not very useful.
-
-
-  -i allows the ip-fields to be empty as well. These will then not generate any
-     records.
-
-
-  -I Include rejected lines as comments in output (valid when filtering).
-
-
-  -q Do not echo valid lines to STDOUT.
-
-  -s DO NOT ignore files ending with ,v ~ .bak .log .old .swp .tmp
-     which is done per default.
-
-
-  -t Give error even on #comment-lines when they are not allowed.
-     (These errors are silently ignored per default)
-
-
-  -T<types>
-     A commandline way to explicitly set the allowed recordtypes.
-     This is _concatenated_ to the allowtype-allowed recordtypes.
-
-
-
-All errors in the zonefiles are sent to STDERR.
-
-     Example; simple use:
-       valtz zone-bodin-org
-
-     Example; simple filter-use;
-       valtz -f /etc/zones/zone-*
-                >/etc/tinydns/data.filtered
-                2>/var/log/tinydns/valtz.log
-
-     Example; filterfile use;
-       valtz -F /etc/zones/filter/zones-otto
-                >/etc/tinydns/data.otto
-                2>/var/log/tinydns/valtz.log
-
-
-     Example filterfile for using as import from primary (as above):
-       zonefile   /var/zones/external/otto/zone-*
-       deny       bodin.org
-       deny       x42.com
-       extralog   /var/log/tinydns/external-otto.log
-
-     Example #2, strict filter for a certain user editing just A-records
-
-       zonefile  /home/felix/zones/zone-fl3x-net
-       allow     fl3x.net
-       allowtype +
-       extralog  /var/log/tinydns/fl3x-net.log
-
-     Example #3, export filter to secondary
-
-       zonefile  /var/zones/primary/zone-*
-       # just allow OUR zones to be exported, not to annoy secondary partner
-       allow     file:/var/zones/primary-zones.txt
-       # don't allow any other types than this; e.g. comments won't be exported
-       allowtype Z + @ . C
-       extralog  /var/log/tinydns/primary-export.log
-
-     Example #4, /etc/zones/minimalistic-filterfile
-
-       deny file:/etc/zones/primary-zones.txt
-       allowtype Z + @ . C
-
-       and on the commandline;
-
-        ssh remote.example.org cat /etc/export-zones.txt | \
-           valtz -F /etc/zones/minimalistic-filterfile \
-           >/etc/tinydns/remote.example.org-data \
-           2>/var/log/remote.example.org-zones.log
