+# named
+
+> Execute the DNS (Dynamic Name Service) server daemon that converts host names to IP addresses and vice versa.
+> More information: <https://linux.die.net/man/8/named>.
+
+- Read the default configuration file `/etc/named.conf`, read any initial data and listen for queries:
+
+`named`
+
+- Read a custom configuration file:
+
+`named -c {{path/to/named.conf}}`
+
+- Use IPv4 or IPv6 only, even if the host machine is capable of utilising other protocols:
+
+`named {{-4|-6}}`
+
+- Listen for queries on a specific port instead of the default port `53`:
+
+`named -p {{port}}`
+
+- Run the server in the foreground and do not daemonize:
+
+`named -f`
