40 checks the syntax, but not the semantics, of a
42 configuration file. The file is parsed and checked for syntax errors, along with all files included by it. If no file is specified,
48 reads in separate parser contexts, such as
51 \fIbind.keys\fR, are not automatically read by
52 \fBnamed\-checkconf\fR. Configuration errors in these files may cause
54 to fail to run, even if
55 \fBnamed\-checkconf\fR
57 \fBnamed\-checkconf\fR
58 can be run on these files explicitly, however.
63 Print the usage summary and exit.
70 so that include directives in the configuration file are processed as if run by a similarly chrooted named.
75 Print the version of the
76 \fBnamed\-checkconf\fR
84 and included files in canonical form if no errors were detected.
89 Perform a test load of all master zones found in
95 When loading a zonefile read the journal if it exists.
100 The name of the configuration file to be checked. If not specified, it defaults to
101 \fI/etc/named.conf\fR.
105 \fBnamed\-checkconf\fR
106 returns an exit status of 1 if errors were detected and 0 otherwise.
