The file is parsed and checked for syntax errors, along with all files included by it. If no file is specified, <code class="filename">/etc/named.conf</code> is read by default. </p> <p> Note: files that <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> reads in separate parser contexts, such as <code class="filename">rndc.key</code> and <code class="filename">bind.keys</code>, are not automatically read by <span class="command"><strong>named-checkconf</strong></span>. Configuration errors in these files may cause <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> to fail to run, even if <span class="command"><strong>named-checkconf</strong></span> was successful. <span class="command"><strong>named-checkconf</strong></span> can be run on these files explicitly, however. </p> </div> <div class="refsection"> <a name="id-1.14.23.8"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2> <div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"> <dt><span class="term">-h</span></dt> <dd><p> Print the usage summary and exit. </p></dd> <dt><span class="term">-j</span></dt> <dd><p> When loading a zonefile read the journal if it exists. </p></dd> <dt><span class="term">-p</span></dt> <dd><p> Print out the <code class="filename">named.conf</code> and included files in canonical form if no errors were detected.
