NAME

       named-checkzone - zone file validity checking tool

SYNOPSIS

       named-checkzone [ -d ]  [ -q ]  [ -v ]  [ -c class ]  zonename filename

DESCRIPTION

       named-checkzone	checks	the syntax and integrity of a zone file. It performs the same checks as named does when loading a zone. This makes
       named-checkzone useful for checking zone files before configuring them into a name server.

OPTIONS

       -d     Enable debugging.

       -q     Quiet mode - exit code only.

       -v     Print the version of the named-checkzone program and exit.

       -c class
	      Specify the class of the zone. If not specified "IN" is assumed.

       zonename
	      The domain name of the zone being checked.

       filename
	      The name of the zone file.

RETURN VALUES

       named-checkzone returns an exit status of 1 if errors were detected and 0 otherwise.

NAME

       named-checkzone - zone file validity checking tool

SYNOPSIS

       named-checkzone [-djqv] [-c class] [-k mode] [-n mode]
	    [-o filename] [-t directory] [-w directory] [-D]
	    zonename filename

DESCRIPTION

       The  named-checkzone  utility  checks the syntax and integrity of a zone file. It performs the same checks as named(1M) does when loading a
       zone. The named-checkzone utility is useful for checking zone files before configuring them into a name server.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -c class        Specify the class of the zone. If not specified, "IN" is assumed.

       -d	       Enable debugging.

       -D	       Dump zone file in canonical format.

       -k mode	       Perform "check-name" checks with the specified failure mode. Possible modes are "fail", "warn" (the default) and "ignore".

       -j	       Read the journal, if it exists, when loading the zone file.

       -n mode	       Specify whether NS records should be checked to see if they are addresses. Possible modes are "fail", "warn" (the  default)
		       and "ignore".

       -o filename     Write zone output to filename.

       -q	       Run in quiet mode, reporting only the exit status.

       -t directory    chroot  to  directory  so that include directives in the configuration file are processed as if run by a similarly chrooted
		       named.

       -v	       Print the version of the named-checkzone program and exit.

       -w directory    chdir to directory so that relative filenames in master file $INCLUDE directives work. This is similar  to   the  directory
		       clause in named.conf.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       filename    The name of the zone file.

       zonename    The domain name of the zone being checked.

EXIT STATUS

       0    No errors were detected.

       1    An error was detected.
