class="command"><strong>named-checkzone</strong></span> checks the syntax and integrity of a zone file. It performs the same checks as <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> does when loading a zone. This makes <span class="command"><strong>named-checkzone</strong></span> useful for checking zone files before configuring them into a name server. </p> <p> <span class="command"><strong>named-compilezone</strong></span> is similar to <span class="command"><strong>named-checkzone</strong></span>, but it always dumps the zone contents to a specified file in a specified format. Additionally, it applies stricter check levels by default, since the dump output will be used as an actual zone file loaded by <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>. When manually specified otherwise, the check levels must at least be as strict as those specified in the <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> configuration file. </p> </div> <div class="refsection"> <a name="id-1.14.24.8"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2> <div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"> <dt><span class="term">-d</span></dt> <dd><p> Enable debugging. </p></dd> <dt><span class="term">-h</span></dt> <dd><p> Print the usage summary and exit. </p></dd> <dt><span class="term">-q</span></dt> <dd><p> Quiet mode - exit code only. </p></dd> <dt><span class="term">-v</span></dt> <dd><p> Print the version of the <span class="command"><strong>named-checkzone</strong></span> program and exit. </p></dd> <dt><span class="term">-j</span></dt> <dd><p> When loading a zone file, read the journal if it exists.

Mode <span class="command"><strong>"local"</strong></span> only checks MX records which refer to in-zone hostnames. </p> <p> Mode <span class="command"><strong>"full"</strong></span> checks that SRV records refer to A or AAAA record (both in-zone and out-of-zone hostnames). Mode <span class="command"><strong>"local"</strong></span> only checks SRV records which refer to in-zone hostnames. </p> <p> Mode <span class="command"><strong>"full"</strong></span> checks that delegation NS records refer to A or AAAA record (both in-zone and out-of-zone hostnames). It also checks that glue address records in the zone match those advertised by the child. Mode <span class="command"><strong>"local"</strong></span> only checks NS records which refer to in-zone hostnames or that some required glue exists, that is when the nameserver is in a child zone. </p> <p> Mode <span class="command"><strong>"full-sibling"</strong></span> and <span class="command"><strong>"local-sibling"</strong></span> disable sibling glue checks but are otherwise the same as <span class="command"><strong>"full"</strong></span> and <span class="command"><strong>"local"</strong></span> respectively. </p> <p> Mode <span class="command"><strong>"none"</strong></span> disables the checks. </p> </dd> <dt><span class="term">-f <em class="replaceable"><code>format</code></em></span></dt> <dd><p> Specify the format of the zone file.
