NAMED-CHECKCONF(8)						       BIND9							NAMED-CHECKCONF(8)

NAME

       named-checkconf - named configuration file syntax checking tool

SYNOPSIS

       named-checkconf [-h] [-v] [-j] [-t directory] {filename} [-p] [-z]

DESCRIPTION

       named-checkconf checks the syntax, but not the semantics, of a named configuration file. The file is parsed and checked for syntax errors,
       along with all files included by it. If no file is specified, /etc/named.conf is read by default.

       Note: files that named reads in separate parser contexts, such as rndc.key and bind.keys, are not automatically read by named-checkconf.
       Configuration errors in these files may cause named to fail to run, even if named-checkconf was successful.  named-checkconf can be run on
       these files explicitly, however.

OPTIONS

       -h
	   Print the usage summary and exit.

       -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-checkconf program and exit.

       -p
	   Print out the named.conf and included files in canonical form if no errors were detected.

       -z
	   Perform a test load of all master zones found in named.conf.

       -j
	   When loading a zonefile read the journal if it exists.

       filename
	   The name of the configuration file to be checked. If not specified, it defaults to /etc/named.conf.

RETURN VALUES

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