The file, along with all files included by it, is parsed and checked for syntax +errors. If no file is specified, +|named_conf| is read by default. + +Note: files that :iscman:`named` reads in separate parser contexts, such as +``rndc.key`` and ``bind.keys``, are not automatically read by +:program:`named-checkconf`. Configuration errors in these files may cause +:iscman:`named` to fail to run, even if :program:`named-checkconf` was successful. +However, :program:`named-checkconf` can be run on these files explicitly. + +Options +~~~~~~~ + +.. option:: -h + + This option prints the usage summary and exits. + +.. option:: -j + + When loading a zonefile, this option instructs :iscman:`named` to read the journal if it exists. + +.. option:: -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). + +.. option:: -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. + +.. option:: -i + + This option ignores warnings on deprecated options. + +.. option:: -p + + This option prints out the :iscman:`named.conf` and included files in canonical form if + no errors were detected. See also the :option:`-x` option. + +.. option:: -t directory + + This option instructs :iscman:`named` to chroot to ``directory``, so that ``include`` directives in the + configuration file are processed as if run by a similarly chrooted + :iscman:`named`. + +.. option:: -v + + This option prints the version of the :program:`named-checkconf` program and exits. + +.. option:: -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 :iscman:`named.conf` 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:: -z + + This option performs a test load of all zones of type ``primary`` found in :iscman:`named.conf`. + +.. option:: filename + + This indicates the name of the configuration file to be checked. If not specified, + it defaults to |named_conf|. + +Return Values +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +:program:`named-checkconf` returns an exit status of 1 if errors were detected +and 0 otherwise. + +See Also +~~~~~~~~ + +:iscman:`named(8) <named>`, :iscman:`named-checkzone(8) <named-checkzone>`, BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual. |
