60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein checks the syntax and integrity of a zone file. It performs the
fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User same checks as <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> does when loading a
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein zone. This makes <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span> useful for
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein checking zone files before configuring them into a name server.
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User <span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span> is similar to
fd2597f75693a2279fdf588bd40dfe2407c42028Tinderbox User <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>, but it always dumps the
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein zone contents to a specified file in a specified format.
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein Additionally, it applies stricter check levels by default,
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein since the dump output will be used as an actual zone file
14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt loaded by <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>.
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein When manually specified otherwise, the check levels must at
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein least be as strict as those specified in the
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> configuration file.

60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein This is mandatory for <span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span>.

60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein Check for records that are treated as different by DNSSEC but
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein are semantically equal in plain DNS.
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein Possible modes are <span><strong class="command">"fail"</strong></span>,

60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein Specify the style of the dumped zone file.
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein Possible styles are <span><strong class="command">"full"</strong></span> (default)
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein and <span><strong class="command">"relative"</strong></span>.
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein The full format is most suitable for processing
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein automatically by a separate script.
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein On the other hand, the relative format is more
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein human-readable and is thus suitable for editing by hand.
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein For <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein this does not cause any effects unless it dumps the zone
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein It also does not have any meaning if the output format
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein is not text.

60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein directives in the configuration file are processed as if

60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein chdir to <code class="filename">directory</code> so that
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein filenames in master file $INCLUDE directives work. This
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein is similar to the directory clause in
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein Dump zone file in canonical format.

14a656f94b1fd0ababd84a772228dfa52276ba15Evan Hunt Non-terminal wildcards are almost always the result of a
