mydnscheck (8) Linux Manual Page
mydnscheck – Check zone data for consistency and syntax.
Synopsis
mydnscheck [-c, –consistency] [-C, –consistency-only] [-D, –database=dbname] [-h, –host=hostname] [-p, –password[=password]] [-u, –user=username] [-v, –verbose] [–help] [–version] [ZONE…]
Description
mydnscheck scans the zones named on the command line for syntax. If no zones are specified, all zones are scanned. If the -c (or -C) option is specified, additional database consistency checks are performed. The program writes all results to stdout in a format that both humans and computers should be able to read. Each problem found is listed on a separate line, with a TAB character in between each field. The fields listed are: MESSAGE .. SOA ID .. RR ID .. NAME .. TTL .. TYPE .. DATA If stderr is a terminal, a progress meter is displayed if scanning all zones.
