+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+\fBnamed\-compilezone\fP checks the syntax and integrity of a zone file,
+and dumps the zone contents to a specified file in a specified format.
+It applies strict check levels by default, since the
+dump output is used as an actual zone file loaded by \fBnamed\fP\&.
+When manually specified otherwise, the check levels must at least be as
+strict as those specified in the \fBnamed\fP configuration file.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.INDENT 0.0
+.TP
+.B \fB\-d\fP
+This option enables debugging.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-h\fP
+This option prints the usage summary and exits.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-q\fP
+This option sets quiet mode, which only sets an exit code to indicate
+successful or failed completion.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-v\fP
+This option prints the version of the \fBnamed\-checkzone\fP program and exits.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-j\fP
+When loading a zone file, this option tells \fBnamed\fP to read the journal if it exists. The journal
+file name is assumed to be the zone file name with the
+string \fB\&.jnl\fP appended.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-J filename\fP
+When loading the zone file, this option tells \fBnamed\fP to read the journal from the given file, if
+it exists. This implies \fB\-j\fP\&.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-c class\fP
+This option specifies the class of the zone. If not specified, \fBIN\fP is assumed.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-i mode\fP
+This option performs post\-load zone integrity checks. Possible modes are
+\fBfull\fP (the default), \fBfull\-sibling\fP, \fBlocal\fP,
+\fBlocal\-sibling\fP, and \fBnone\fP\&.
+.sp
+Mode \fBfull\fP checks that MX records refer to A or AAAA records
+(both in\-zone and out\-of\-zone hostnames). Mode \fBlocal\fP only
+checks MX records which refer to in\-zone hostnames.
+.sp
+Mode \fBfull\fP checks that SRV records refer to A or AAAA records
+(both in\-zone and out\-of\-zone hostnames). Mode \fBlocal\fP only
+checks SRV records which refer to in\-zone hostnames.
+.sp
+Mode \fBfull\fP checks that delegation NS records refer to A or AAAA
+records (both in\-zone and out\-of\-zone hostnames). It also checks that
+glue address records in the zone match those advertised by the child.
+Mode \fBlocal\fP only checks NS records which refer to in\-zone
+hostnames or verifies that some required glue exists, i.e., when the
+name server is in a child zone.
+.sp
+Modes \fBfull\-sibling\fP and \fBlocal\-sibling\fP disable sibling glue
+checks, but are otherwise the same as \fBfull\fP and \fBlocal\fP,
+respectively.
+.sp
+Mode \fBnone\fP disables the checks.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-f format\fP
+This option specifies the format of the zone file. Possible formats are
+\fBtext\fP (the default), \fBraw\fP, and \fBmap\fP\&.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-F format\fP
+This option specifies the format of the output file specified. For
+\fBnamed\-checkzone\fP, this does not have any effect unless it dumps
+the zone contents.
+.sp
+Possible formats are \fBtext\fP (the default), which is the standard
+textual representation of the zone, and \fBmap\fP, \fBraw\fP, and \fBraw=N\fP, which
+store the zone in a binary format for rapid loading by \fBnamed\fP\&.
+\fBraw=N\fP specifies the format version of the raw zone file: if \fBN\fP is
+0, the raw file can be read by any version of \fBnamed\fP; if N is 1, the
+file can only be read by release 9.9.0 or higher. The default is 1.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-k mode\fP
+This option performs \fBcheck\-names\fP checks with the specified failure mode.
+Possible modes are \fBfail\fP (the default), \fBwarn\fP, and \fBignore\fP\&.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-l ttl\fP
+This option sets a maximum permissible TTL for the input file. Any record with a
+TTL higher than this value causes the zone to be rejected. This
+is similar to using the \fBmax\-zone\-ttl\fP option in \fBnamed.conf\fP\&.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-L serial\fP
+When compiling a zone to \fBraw\fP or \fBmap\fP format, this option sets the \(dqsource
+serial\(dq value in the header to the specified serial number. This is
+expected to be used primarily for testing purposes.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-m mode\fP
+This option specifies whether MX records should be checked to see if they are
+addresses. Possible modes are \fBfail\fP, \fBwarn\fP (the default), and
+\fBignore\fP\&.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-M mode\fP
+This option checks whether a MX record refers to a CNAME. Possible modes are
+\fBfail\fP, \fBwarn\fP (the default), and \fBignore\fP\&.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-n mode\fP
+This option specifies whether NS records should be checked to see if they are
+addresses. Possible modes are \fBfail\fP (the default), \fBwarn\fP, and
+\fBignore\fP\&.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-o filename\fP
+This option writes the zone output to \fBfilename\fP\&. If \fBfilename\fP is \fB\-\fP, then
+the zone output is written to standard output. This is mandatory for \fBnamed\-compilezone\fP\&.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-r mode\fP
+This option checks for records that are treated as different by DNSSEC but are
+semantically equal in plain DNS. Possible modes are \fBfail\fP,
+\fBwarn\fP (the default), and \fBignore\fP\&.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-s style\fP
+This option specifies the style of the dumped zone file. Possible styles are
+\fBfull\fP (the default) and \fBrelative\fP\&. The \fBfull\fP format is most
+suitable for processing automatically by a separate script.
+The relative format is more human\-readable and is thus
+suitable for editing by hand.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-S mode\fP
+This option checks whether an SRV record refers to a CNAME. Possible modes are
+\fBfail\fP, \fBwarn\fP (the default), and \fBignore\fP\&.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-t directory\fP
+This option tells \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\-T mode\fP
+This option checks whether Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records exist and issues a
+warning if an SPF\-formatted TXT record is not also present. Possible
+modes are \fBwarn\fP (the default) and \fBignore\fP\&.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-w directory\fP
+This option instructs \fBnamed\fP to chdir to \fBdirectory\fP, so that relative filenames in master file
+\fB$INCLUDE\fP directives work. This is similar to the directory clause in
+\fBnamed.conf\fP\&.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-D\fP
+This option dumps the zone file in canonical format. This is always enabled for
+\fBnamed\-compilezone\fP\&.
+.TP
+.B \fB\-W mode\fP
+This option specifies whether to check for non\-terminal wildcards. Non\-terminal
+wildcards are almost always the result of a failure to understand the
+wildcard matching algorithm (\fI\%RFC 4592\fP). Possible modes are \fBwarn\fP
+(the default) and \fBignore\fP\&.
+.TP
+.B \fBzonename\fP
+This indicates the domain name of the zone being checked.
+.TP
+.B \fBfilename\fP
+This is the name of the zone file.
+.UNINDENT
+.SH RETURN VALUES
