## Description
The default root is the current working directory of CoreDNS. The *root* plugin allows you to change
this. A relative root path is relative to the current working directory.
This plugin can only be used once per Server Block.
## Syntax
~~~ txt
root PATH
~~~
**PATH** is the directory to set as CoreDNS' root.
## Examples
Serve zone data (when the *file* plugin is used) from `/etc/coredns/zones`:
~~~ corefile
. {
root /etc/coredns/zones
}
~~~
