+named-checkconf - named configuration file syntax checking tool
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Synopsis
+~~~~~~~~
+
+:program:`named-checkconf` [**-chjlvz**] [**-p** [**-x** ]] [**-t** directory] {filename}
+
+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``named-checkconf`` checks the syntax, but not the semantics, of a
+``named`` configuration file. The file, along with all files included by it, is parsed and checked for syntax
+errors. If no file is specified,
+``/etc/named.conf`` is read by default.
+
+Note: files that ``named`` reads in separate parser contexts, such as
+``rndc.key`` and ``bind.keys``, are not automatically read by
+``named-checkconf``. Configuration errors in these files may cause
+``named`` to fail to run, even if ``named-checkconf`` was successful.
+However, ``named-checkconf`` can be run on these files explicitly.
+
+Options
+~~~~~~~
+
+``-h``
+   This option prints the usage summary and exits.
+
+``-j``
+   When loading a zonefile, this option instructs ``named`` to read the journal if it exists.
+
+``-l``
+   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).
+
+``-c``
+   This option specifies that only the "core" configuration should be checked. This suppresses the loading of
+   plugin modules, and causes all parameters to ``plugin`` statements to
+   be ignored.
+
+``-i``
+   This option ignores warnings on deprecated options.
+
+``-p``
+   This option prints out the ``named.conf`` and included files in canonical form if
+   no errors were detected. See also the ``-x`` option.
+
+``-t directory``
+   This option instructs ``named`` to chroot to ``directory``, so that ``include`` directives in the
+   configuration file are processed as if run by a similarly chrooted
+   ``named``.
+
+``-v``
+   This option prints the version of the ``named-checkconf`` program and exits.
+
+``-x``
+   When printing the configuration files in canonical form, this option obscures
+   shared secrets by replacing them with strings of question marks
+   (``?``). This allows the contents of ``named.conf`` and related files
+   to be shared - for example, when submitting bug reports -
+   without compromising private data. This option cannot be used without
+   ``-p``.
+
+``-z``
+   This option performs a test load of all zones of type ``primary`` found in ``named.conf``.
+
+``filename``
+   This indicates the name of the configuration file to be checked. If not specified,
+   it defaults to ``/etc/named.conf``.
+
+Return Values
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``named-checkconf`` returns an exit status of 1 if errors were detected
+and 0 otherwise.
