named-checkconf (8) Linux Manual Page
named-checkconf – named configuration file syntax checking tool
Synopsis
-
named-checkconf[-h] [-v] [-j] [-tdirectory] {filename} [-p] [-z]
Description
named-checkconf
named configuration file. The file is parsed and checked for syntax errors, along with all files included by it. If no file is specified, /etc/named.conf is read by default.
Note: files that named reads in separate parser contexts, such as rndc.key and bind.keys, are not automatically read by named-checkconf. Configuration errors in these files may cause named to fail to run, even if named-checkconf was successful. named-checkconf can be run on these files explicitly, however.
Options
-h
- Print the usage summary and exit.
-t directory
- Chroot to directory so that include directives in the configuration file are processed as if run by a similarly chrooted named.
-v
- Print the version of the
named-checkconfprogram and exit.
-p
- Print out the named.conf and included files in canonical form if no errors were detected.
-z
- Perform a test load of all master zones found in named.conf.
-j
- When loading a zonefile read the journal if it exists.
filename
- The name of the configuration file to be checked. If not specified, it defaults to /etc/named.conf.
Return Values
named-checkconf returns an exit status of 1 if errors were detected and 0 otherwise.
