+.SH NAME
+named-checkconf \- named configuration file syntax checking tool
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.sp
+\fBnamed\-checkconf\fP [\fB\-chjlvz\fP] [\fB\-p\fP [\fB\-x\fP ]] [\fB\-t\fP directory] {filename}
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+\fBnamed\-checkconf\fP checks the syntax, but not the semantics, of a
+\fBnamed\fP configuration file. The file, along with all files included by it, is parsed and checked for syntax
+errors. If no file is specified,
+\fB/etc/named.conf\fP is read by default.
+.sp
+Note: files that \fBnamed\fP reads in separate parser contexts, such as
+\fBrndc.key\fP and \fBbind.keys\fP, are not automatically read by
+\fBnamed\-checkconf\fP\&. Configuration errors in these files may cause
+\fBnamed\fP to fail to run, even if \fBnamed\-checkconf\fP was successful.
+However, \fBnamed\-checkconf\fP can be run on these files explicitly.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.INDENT 0.0
+.TP
+.B \fB\-h\fP
+This option prints the usage summary and exits.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-j\fP
+When loading a zonefile, this option instructs \fBnamed\fP to read the journal if it exists.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-l\fP
+This option lists all the configured zones. Each line of output contains the zone
+name, class (e.g. IN), view, and type (e.g. primary or secondary).
+.TP
+.B \fB\-c\fP
+This option specifies that only the \(dqcore\(dq configuration should be checked. This suppresses the loading of
+plugin modules, and causes all parameters to \fBplugin\fP statements to
+be ignored.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-i\fP
+This option ignores warnings on deprecated options.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-p\fP
+This option prints out the \fBnamed.conf\fP and included files in canonical form if
+no errors were detected. See also the \fB\-x\fP option.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-t directory\fP
+This option instructs \fBnamed\fP to chroot to \fBdirectory\fP, so that \fBinclude\fP directives in the
+configuration file are processed as if run by a similarly chrooted
+\fBnamed\fP\&.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-v\fP
+This option prints the version of the \fBnamed\-checkconf\fP program and exits.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-x\fP
+When printing the configuration files in canonical form, this option obscures
+shared secrets by replacing them with strings of question marks
+(\fB?\fP). This allows the contents of \fBnamed.conf\fP and related files
+to be shared \- for example, when submitting bug reports \-
+without compromising private data. This option cannot be used without
+\fB\-p\fP\&.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-z\fP
+This option performs a test load of all zones of type \fBprimary\fP found in \fBnamed.conf\fP\&.
+.TP
+.B \fBfilename\fP
+This indicates the name of the configuration file to be checked. If not specified,
+it defaults to \fB/etc/named.conf\fP\&.
+.UNINDENT
+.SH RETURN VALUES
+.sp
+\fBnamed\-checkconf\fP returns an exit status of 1 if errors were detected
+and 0 otherwise.
+.SH SEE ALSO
