.SH "NAME"
\fIlog\fR \- enables query logging to standard output\.
.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
By just using \fIlog\fR you dump all queries (and parts for the reply) on standard output\. Options exist to tweak the output a little\.
.
.P
Note that for busy servers this will incur a performance hit\.
.
.SH "SYNTAX"
.
.nf

.
.fi
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
With no arguments, a query log entry is written to \fIstdout\fR in the common log format for all requests
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
Or if you want/need slightly more control:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
log [NAME] [FORMAT]
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\fBNAME\fR is the name to match in order to be logged
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\fBFORMAT\fR is the log format to use (default is Common Log Format)
.
.IP "" 0
.

You can further specify the classes of responses that get logged:
.
.IP "" 4
.

}
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.IP "\(bu" 4

.IP "\(bu" 4
\fBdenial\fR: either NXDOMAIN or NODATA (name exists, type does not)
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\fBerror\fR: SERVFAIL, NOTIMP, REFUSED, etc\. Anything that indicates the remote server is not willing to resolve the request\.
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\fBall\fR: the default \- nothing is specified\. Using of this class means that all messages will be logged whatever we mix together with "all"\.
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
If no class is specified, it defaults to \fIall\fR\.
.
.SH "LOG FORMAT"
