\w'named-checkconf 'u named-checkconf [-hjvz] [-p [-x ]] [-t directory] {filename}
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.
-h
Print the usage summary and exit.
-j
When loading a zonefile read the journal if it exists.
-p
Print out the named.conf and included files in canonical form if no errors were detected. See also the -x option.
-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.
-x
When printing the configuration files in canonical form, obscure shared secrets by replacing them with strings of question marks (\*(Aq?\*(Aq). This allows the contents of named.conf and related files to be shared \(em for example, when submitting bug reports \(em without compromising private data. This option cannot be used without -p.
-z
Perform a test load of all master zones found in named.conf.
filename
named-checkconf returns an exit status of 1 if errors were detected and 0 otherwise.
