Hello,

I was curious if the underlying protocol used by the rndc command was well
documented and if writing clients against it (rather than using the rndc
utility) was advisable or not.

Thanks,

A quick search shows that the source is easily read. For example
http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb/machine/charon3/src/bind-9.6-ESV-R5-P1/bin/rndc/rndc.c
uses isc_socket and checks the underlying protocols during connection.
  ie...  v6 or v4, UDP or TCP...



Thanks.

I realize that the source is readable, but I was asking for actual documentation which it appears does not exist or is not public if it is.

In any event, I'm already underway using the source code as a driver for what I need.

Cheers,
