f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce<p><span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce checks the syntax and integrity of a zone file. It performs the
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce same checks as <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> does when loading a
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce zone. This makes <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span> useful for
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce checking zone files before configuring them into a name server.
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce <span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span> is similar to
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>, but it always dumps the
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce zone contents to a specified file in a specified format.
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce Additionally, it applies stricter check levels by default,
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce since the dump output will be used as an actual zone file
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce loaded by <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>.
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce When manually specified otherwise, the check levels must at
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce least be as strict as those specified in the
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> configuration file.
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce Enable debugging.
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce Print the usage summary and exit.
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce Quiet mode - exit code only.
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce Print the version of the <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce program and exit.
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce When loading a zone file, read the journal if it exists.
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce The journal file name is assumed to be the zone file name

f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce Specify the style of the dumped zone file.

f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce The full format is most suitable for processing

f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce On the other hand, the relative format is more
f293a69bcd1c1dd7bdac8f4102fc2398b9e475c8Eric Luce human-readable and is thus suitable for editing by hand.
