Knot DNS is a high-performance authoritative DNS server. The knotd program is the DNS server daemon.

-c, --config file
Use a textual configuration file (default is /usr/local/etc/knot/knot.conf).

Use a binary configuration database directory (default is /var/db/knot/confdb). The default configuration database, if exists, has a preference to the default configuration file.
-m, --max-conf-size MiB
Set maximum size of the configuration database (default is 500 MiB, maximum 10000 MiB).

If the knotd process receives a SIGHUP signal, it reloads its configuration and reopens the log files, if they are configured. When knotd recieves a SIGUSR1 signal, it reloads all configured zones. Upon receiving a SIGINT signal, knotd exits.

Exit status of 0 means successful operation. Any other exit status indicates an error.
