SYNTAX

       posadis-getroots [icann|<root-server-provider>]

       posadis-getroots <server1> <server2> ...

DESCRIPTION

       This program retrieves an up-to-date list of the root  nameservers  you
       can  put  into  your  Posadisrc.  It has a hardcoded list of root name-
       servers, which it will try to reach in order to find  the  most  recent
       information.

       The  program  can,  at  your  choice,  either query the standard, Icann
       (www.icann.org) root nameservers, or another root server  organisation.
       To  try  one,  type its name, or, to enumerate all available root name-
       server sets, use a nonexistent root  server  set,  for  example,  none.
       Alternatively,  you  can  specify  your  own  DNS server that should be
       queried.

       The resulting list of root nameservers will be printed to standard out-
       put in a form suitable for inclusion in the posadisrc file for Posadis.
       If an error occurs, an error message will be printed  and  the  program
       will return with a nonzero exit code.
