• Examples:
  • named.conf
  • example.com.zone
  • example.edu.zone
  • example.org.zone
  • named.conf zone
  • 198.51.100.zone
  • named.conf zone reverse
  • resolv.conf
• Man pages:
  • FreeBSD:
    • dig(1)
    • host(1)
    • named(8)
    • named.conf(5)
    • rndc(8)
    • rndc-confgen(8)
  • Debian:
    • dig(1)
    • host(1)
    • named(8)
    • named.conf(5)
    • rndc(8)
    • rndc-confgen(8)
  • CentOS:
    • Unfortunately, the CentOS project has decided to not publish it's manual pages online.
      Your best choice for finding online information about CentOS commands would be the links for Debian above,
      or a project like The Linux man-pages project or Linux man pages @ die.net.
      Keep in mind that paths to files and directories in those documentations
      may differ from those on CentOS.
      Obviously, the CentOS man pages are available at the CentOS command line.
