d70dac20d2b88e48fbf2606180d0ba6dcc4bc44fTinderbox User<p><span><strong class="command">named-checkconf</strong></span>
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington checks the syntax, but not the semantics, of a
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> configuration file. The file is parsed
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington and checked for syntax errors, along with all files included by it.
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington If no file is specified, <code class="filename">/etc/named.conf</code> is read
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington Note: files that <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> reads in separate
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington parser contexts, such as <code class="filename">rndc.key</code> and
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington <code class="filename">bind.keys</code>, are not automatically read
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington by <span><strong class="command">named-checkconf</strong></span>. Configuration
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington errors in these files may cause <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> to
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington fail to run, even if <span><strong class="command">named-checkconf</strong></span> was
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington successful. <span><strong class="command">named-checkconf</strong></span> can be run
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington on these files explicitly, however.
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington Print the usage summary and exit.

1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington Chroot to <code class="filename">directory</code> so that include
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington directives in the configuration file are processed as if
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington run by a similarly chrooted named.
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington Print the version of the <span><strong class="command">named-checkconf</strong></span>
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington program and exit.
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington Print out the <code class="filename">named.conf</code> and included files
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington in canonical form if no errors were detected.
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington Perform a test load of all master zones found in
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington When loading a zonefile read the journal if it exists.
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington The name of the configuration file to be checked. If not
1d92d8a2456b23842a649b6104c60a9d6ea25333Brian Wellington specified, it defaults to <code class="filename">/etc/named.conf</code>.
