15 The named-checkzone utility checks the syntax and integrity of a zone
16 file. It performs the same checks as named(1M) does when loading a
17 zone. The named-checkzone utility is useful for checking zone files
18 before configuring them into a name server.
19
21 The following options are supported:
22
23 -c class Specify the class of the zone. If not specified, "IN"
24 is assumed.
25
26
27 -d Enable debugging.
28
29
30 -D Dump zone file in canonical format.
31
32
33 -k mode Perform "check-name" checks with the specified failure
34 mode. Possible modes are "fail", "warn" (the default)
35 and "ignore".
36
37
38 -j Read the journal, if it exists, when loading the zone
39 file.
40
41

59 exit.
