NAME¶
named-checkconf - named configuration file syntax checking toolSYNOPSIS¶
named-checkconf
[ -h] [-v] [-j] [-t directory]
{filename} [ -p] [-x] [-z]
DESCRIPTION¶
named-checkconf checks the syntax, but not the semantics, of a 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¶
-hPrint 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-checkconf program and exit.
-p
Print out the named.conf and included
files in canonical form if no errors were detected.
-x
When printing the configuration files in
canonical form, obscure shared secrets by replacing them with strings of
question marks ('?'). This allows the contents of named.conf and
related files to be shared — for example, when submitting bug reports
— without compromising private data. This option cannot be used without
-p.
-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.SEE ALSO¶
