## DESCRIPTION

Supported options:

- **-****-version**

  - **-h**, **-****-help**

  command can be one of the following:

- truncate

  - **-c** *file*, **-****-config-file=***file*

    configuration file

  - **-r** *string*, **-****-realm=***string*

    realm

  -

    **-K** *integer*, **-****-keep-entries=***integer*

  -

    **-B** *integer*, **-****-max-bytes=***integer*

  -

    **-R**, **-****-reset**

    If **-****-reset** is given, then the given, configured, or default log file will be truncated and will start at version 1.  This forces full propagations to all slave KDCs.

    Otherwise the log will be truncated but some entries will be preserved, as specified by the **-****-keep-entries** and/or **-****-max-bytes** options.  The largest number of **-****-keep-entries** entries that are available and fit in the given **-****-max-bytes** option will be used.  The **-****-keep-entries** **-option** **-defaults** **-to** **-100,** **-and** **-the** **-****-max-bytes** option defaults to the *log-max-size* parameter in the configuration.

- dump

  - **-c** *file*, **-****-config-file=***file*

    configuration file

  -

    **-r** *string*, **-****-realm=***string* realm

  -

    **-n** *string*, **-****-no-lock**

  -

    **-R** *string*, **-****-reverse**

    Print out all entries in the given, configured, or default log file to standard output.  If the **-n** option is used then don't lock the iprop log file.  If the **-R** option is used, then print the entries in reverse order (this can be useful when the log is very large).

- replay

  - **-****-start-version=***version-number*

    start replay with this version

  -

    **-****-end-version=***version-number* end replay with this version

  - **-c** *file*, **-****-config-file=***file*

    configuration file

  - **-r** *string*, **-****-realm=***string*

    realm

    Replay the changes from specified entries (or all if none is specified) in the given, configured, or default transaction log file to the database.

- last-version

  - **-c** *file*, **-****-config-file=***file*

    configuration file

  - **-r** *string*, **-****-realm=***string*

    realm

  -

    **-n** *string*, **-****-no-lock**

    prints the version of the last record in each of the given log files, or the configured, or the default log file if none is given.

- signal

  - **-c** *file*, **-****-config-file=***file*

    configuration file

  - **-r** *string*, **-****-realm=***string*

    realm

    Signals the ipropd-master daemon to send updates to slaves.  Normally kadmin does this every time it writes to the database, so this should rarely be needed.
