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

<para>
When printing the configuration files in canonical
form, obscure shared secrets by replacing them with
strings of question marks ('?'). This allows the
contents of <filename>named.conf</filename> and related
files to be shared — for example, when submitting
bug reports — without compromising private data.
This option cannot be used without <option>-p</option>.
