named−checkzone − zone file validity checking tool
named−checkzone [−d] [−j] [−q] [−v] [−c class] [−k mode] [−n mode] [−o filename] [−t directory] [−w directory] [−D] {zonename} {filename} |
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.
−d
Enable debugging.
−q
Quiet mode − exit code only.
−v
Print the version of the named−checkzone program and exit.
−j
When loading the zone file read the journal if it exists.
−c class
Specify the class of the zone. If not specified "IN" is assumed.
−k mode
Perform "check−names" checks with the specified failure mode. Possible modes are "fail", "warn" (default) and "ignore".
−n mode
Specify whether NS records should be checked to see if they are addresses. Possible modes are "fail", "warn" (default) and "ignore".
−o filename
Write zone output to filename.
−t directory
Chroot to directory so that include directives in the configuration file are processed as if run by a similarly chrooted named.
−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.
−D
Dump zone file in canonical format.
zonename
The domain name of the zone being checked.
filename
The name of the zone file.
named−checkzone returns an exit status of 1 if errors were detected and 0 otherwise.
