It +performs the same checks as :iscman:`named` does when loading a zone. This +makes :program:`named-checkzone` useful for checking zone files before +configuring them into a name server. + +Options +~~~~~~~ + +.. option:: -d + + This option enables debugging. + +.. option:: -h + + This option prints the usage summary and exits. + +.. option:: -q + + This option sets quiet mode, which only sets an exit code to indicate + successful or failed completion. + +.. option:: -v + + This option prints the version of the :program:`named-checkzone` program and exits. + +.. option:: -j + + When loading a zone file, this option tells :iscman:`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. + +.. option:: -J filename + + When loading the zone file, this option tells :iscman:`named` to read the journal from the given file, if + it exists. This implies :option:`-j`. + +.. option:: -c class + + This option specifies the class of the zone. If not specified, ``IN`` is assumed. + +.. option:: -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. + +.. option:: -f format + + This option specifies the format of the zone file. Possible formats are + ``text`` (the default), and ``raw``. + +.. option:: -F format + + This option specifies the format of the output file specified. For + :program:`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 ``raw`` and ``raw=N``, which + store the zone in a binary format for rapid loading by :iscman:`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 :iscman:`named`; if N is 1, the + file can only be read by release 9.9.0 or higher. The default is 1. + +.. option:: -k mode + + This option performs ``check-names`` checks with the specified failure mode. + Possible modes are ``fail``, ``warn`` (the default), and ``ignore``. + +.. option:: -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 :iscman:`named.conf`. + +.. option:: -L serial + + When compiling a zone to ``raw`` 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. + +.. option:: -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``. + +.. option:: -M mode + + This option checks whether a MX record refers to a CNAME. Possible modes are + ``fail``, ``warn`` (the default), and ``ignore``. + +.. option:: -n mode + + This option specifies whether NS records should be checked to see if they are + addresses. Possible modes are ``fail``, ``warn`` (the default), and ``ignore``. + +.. option:: -o filename + + This option writes the zone output to ``filename``. If ``filename`` is ``-``, then + the zone output is written to standard output. + +.. option:: -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``. + +.. option:: -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. This does not have any effect unless it dumps + the zone contents. It also does not have any meaning if the output format + is not text. + +.. option:: -S mode + + This option checks whether an SRV record refers to a CNAME. Possible modes are + ``fail``, ``warn`` (the default), and ``ignore``. + +.. option:: -t directory + + This option tells :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:: -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``. + +.. option:: -w directory + + This option instructs :iscman:`named` to chdir to ``directory``, so that relative filenames in master file + ``$INCLUDE`` directives work. This is similar to the directory clause in + :iscman:`named.conf`. + +.. option:: -D + + This option dumps the zone file in canonical format. + +.. option:: -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``. + +.. option:: zonename + + This indicates the domain name of the zone being checked. + +.. option:: filename + + This is the name of the zone file. + +Return Values +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +:program:`named-checkzone` returns an exit status of 1 if errors were detected +and 0 otherwise. + +See Also +~~~~~~~~ + +:iscman:`named(8) <named>`, :iscman:`named-checkconf(8) <named-checkconf>`, :iscman:`named-compilezone(8) <named-compilezone>`, :rfc:`1035`, BIND 9 Administrator Reference +Manual. |
