SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

16       mydnscheck scans the zones named on the command line for syntax.  If no
17       zones are specified, all zones are scanned.  If the -c (or  -C)  option
18       is specified, additional database consistency checks are performed.
19
20       The  program  writes all results to stdout in a format that both humans
21       and computers should be able to read.  Each problem found is listed  on
22       a separate line, with a TAB character in between each field.
23
24       The fields listed are:
25
26       MESSAGE .. SOA ID .. RR ID .. NAME .. TTL .. TYPE .. DATA
27
28       If  stderr is a terminal, a progress meter is displayed if scanning all
29       zones.
