+To add a SOA record via the gnunet-namestore command line
+tool use the following syntax for the value option. Choose
+the other options according to your preference, however in
+this example we will use a relative expiry, add the record
+under the label @ and add the records to the zone bar
+which already exists:
+
+@example
+$ gnunet-namestore -a -n @ -t SOA -z bar -e 3600s -V \
+>    "rname=$PRIMARY_NS \
+>    mname=$CONTACT_MAIL \
+>    $SERIAL,$REFRESH,$RETRY,$EXPIRY,$MINIMUM_TTL"
+@end example
+
+The above command filled in with values looks like this:
+@example
+$ gnunet-namestore -a -n @ -t SOA -z bar -e 3600s -V \
+>    "rname=ns1.bar \
+>    mname=root.bar \
+>    2019081701,3600,1800,86400,7200"
+@end example
+
+MX records use a similar syntax which is outlined in the
+example below. $SERVER is a domain name as mentioned above.
+@example
+$ gnunet-namestore -a -n mail -t MX -z bar -e 3600s -V \
+>    "$PRIORITY,$SERVER"
+@end example
+
+With the values substituted this is an example of a working
+command:
+@example
+$ gnunet-namestore -a -n mail -t MX -z bar -e 3600s -V \
+>    "10,mail.bar"
+@end example
