Hello Daniel, I just want to dump the zone to a file, technically a `knotc zone-dump zone_name a.out` [1], which does not exist yet. The command `knotc zone-read zone_name` is almost the output as desired except for the formatting.

Hello Daniel Sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes, I want to dump the current zone contents to another zone file. I found the mistake now. The path for the parameter +outdir must be absolute, not relative. The command `knotc zone-flush example.com. +outdir tmp/` generates the zone into /tmp. This is very inconvenient.

# knotc --version knotc (Knot DNS), version 2.6.3 Regards > daniel.salzman(a)nic.cz hat am 2.
