named-checkconf(1M)	System Administration Commands	   named-checkconf(1M)

NAME
       named-checkconf - named configuration file syntax checking tool

SYNOPSIS
       named-checkconf [-hjvz] [-t directory] filename

DESCRIPTION
       The  named-checkconf  utility checks the syntax, but not the semantics,
       of a specified configuration file.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -h

	   Display the usage summary and exit.

       -j

	   When loading a zonefile, read the journal if it exists.

       -t directory

	   Change the root directory to directory so that  include  directives
	   in  the  configuration file are processed as if run by a named con‐
	   figuration whose root directory has been similarly changed.

       -v

	   Print the version of the named-checkconf program and exit.

       -z

	   Perform a test load of the master zones found in named.conf.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported:

       filename

	   The name of the configuration file to be checked. If not specified,
	   it defaults to /etc/named.conf.
