It applies strict check levels by default, since the dump output is used as an actual zone file loaded by ``named``. When manually specified otherwise, the check levels must at least be as strict as those specified in the ``named`` configuration file. Options ~~~~~~~ ``-d`` This option enables debugging. ``-h`` This option prints the usage summary and exits. ``-q`` This option sets quiet mode, which only sets an exit code to indicate successful or failed completion. ``-v`` This option prints the version of the ``named-checkzone`` program and exits. ``-j`` When loading a zone file, this option tells ``named`` to read the journal if it exists. The journal file name is assumed to be the zone file name with the string ``.jnl`` appended. ``-J filename`` When loading the zone file, this option tells ``named`` to read the journal from the given file, if it exists. This implies ``-j``. ``-c class`` This option specifies the class of the zone. If not specified, ``IN`` is assumed. ``-i mode`` This option performs post-load zone integrity checks. Possible modes are ``full`` (the default), ``full-sibling``, ``local``, ``local-sibling``, and ``none``. Mode ``full`` checks that MX records refer to A or AAAA records (both in-zone and out-of-zone hostnames). Mode ``local`` only checks MX records which refer to in-zone hostnames. Mode ``full`` checks that SRV records refer to A or AAAA records (both in-zone and out-of-zone hostnames). Mode ``local`` only checks SRV records which refer to in-zone hostnames. Mode ``full`` 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 ``local`` 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. Modes ``full-sibling`` and ``local-sibling`` disable sibling glue checks, but are otherwise the same as ``full`` and ``local``, respectively. Mode ``none`` disables the checks. ``-f format`` This option specifies the format of the zone file. Possible formats are ``text`` (the default), ``raw``, and ``map``. ``-F format`` This option specifies the format of the output file specified. For ``named-checkzone``, this does not have any effect unless it dumps the zone contents. Possible formats are ``text`` (the default), which is the standard textual representation of the zone, and ``map``, ``raw``, and ``raw=N``, which store the zone in a binary format for rapid loading by ``named``. ``raw=N`` specifies the format version of the raw zone file: if ``N`` is 0, the raw file can be read by any version of ``named``; if N is 1, the file can only be read by release 9.9.0 or higher. The default is 1. ``-k mode`` This option performs ``check-names`` checks with the specified failure mode. Possible modes are ``fail`` (the default), ``warn``, and ``ignore``. ``-l ttl`` 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 ``max-zone-ttl`` option in ``named.conf``. ``-L serial`` When compiling a zone to ``raw`` or ``map`` format, this option sets the "source serial" value in the header to the specified serial number. This is expected to be used primarily for testing purposes. ``-m mode`` This option specifies whether MX records should be checked to see if they are addresses. Possible modes are ``fail``, ``warn`` (the default), and ``ignore``. ``-M mode`` This option checks whether a MX record refers to a CNAME. Possible modes are ``fail``, ``warn`` (the default), and ``ignore``. ``-n mode`` This option specifies whether NS records should be checked to see if they are addresses. Possible modes are ``fail`` (the default), ``warn``, and ``ignore``. ``-o filename`` This option writes the zone output to ``filename``. If ``filename`` is ``-``, then the zone output is written to standard output. This is mandatory for ``named-compilezone``. ``-r mode`` This option checks for records that are treated as different by DNSSEC but are semantically equal in plain DNS. Possible modes are ``fail``, ``warn`` (the default), and ``ignore``. ``-s style`` This option specifies the style of the dumped zone file. Possible styles are ``full`` (the default) and ``relative``. The ``full`` 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. ``-S mode`` This option checks whether an SRV record refers to a CNAME. Possible modes are ``fail``, ``warn`` (the default), and ``ignore``. ``-t directory`` This option tells ``named`` to chroot to ``directory``, so that ``include`` directives in the configuration file are processed as if run by a similarly chrooted ``named``. ``-T mode`` 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 ``warn`` (the default) and ``ignore``. ``-w directory`` This option instructs ``named`` to chdir to ``directory``, so that relative filenames in master file ``$INCLUDE`` directives work. This is similar to the directory clause in ``named.conf``. ``-D`` This option dumps the zone file in canonical format. This is always enabled for ``named-compilezone``. ``-W mode`` 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 (:rfc:`4592`). Possible modes are ``warn`` (the default) and ``ignore``. ``zonename`` This indicates the domain name of the zone being checked. ``filename`` This is the name of the zone file. Return Values ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ``named-compilezone`` returns an exit status of 1 if errors were detected and 0 otherwise.
