7c5dba5aa2daa6307b5374b24275cf5c2b4d822dneil_a_wilson checks the syntax and integrity of a zone file. It performs the
7c5dba5aa2daa6307b5374b24275cf5c2b4d822dneil_a_wilson same checks as <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> does when loading a
7c5dba5aa2daa6307b5374b24275cf5c2b4d822dneil_a_wilson zone. This makes <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span> useful for
7c5dba5aa2daa6307b5374b24275cf5c2b4d822dneil_a_wilson checking zone files before configuring them into a name server.
7c5dba5aa2daa6307b5374b24275cf5c2b4d822dneil_a_wilson <span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span> is similar to
7c5dba5aa2daa6307b5374b24275cf5c2b4d822dneil_a_wilson <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>, but it always dumps the
7c5dba5aa2daa6307b5374b24275cf5c2b4d822dneil_a_wilson zone contents to a specified file in a specified format.
7c5dba5aa2daa6307b5374b24275cf5c2b4d822dneil_a_wilson Additionally, it applies stricter check levels by default,
7c5dba5aa2daa6307b5374b24275cf5c2b4d822dneil_a_wilson since the dump output will be used as an actual zone file
a5b9f8fb834b1b2208e59a2fa76714bd91a5f147violette loaded by <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>.
7c5dba5aa2daa6307b5374b24275cf5c2b4d822dneil_a_wilson When manually specified otherwise, the check levels must at
7c5dba5aa2daa6307b5374b24275cf5c2b4d822dneil_a_wilson least be as strict as those specified in the
7c5dba5aa2daa6307b5374b24275cf5c2b4d822dneil_a_wilson <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> configuration file.

7c5dba5aa2daa6307b5374b24275cf5c2b4d822dneil_a_wilson When loading a zone file, read the journal if it exists.
7c5dba5aa2daa6307b5374b24275cf5c2b4d822dneil_a_wilson The journal file name is assumed to be the zone file name

7c5dba5aa2daa6307b5374b24275cf5c2b4d822dneil_a_wilson On the other hand, the relative format is more
7c5dba5aa2daa6307b5374b24275cf5c2b4d822dneil_a_wilson human-readable and is thus suitable for editing by hand.
