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-name" 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 directory. |
-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. |
