<a name="id2637408"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p><span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>
checks the syntax and integrity of a zone file. It performs the
same checks as <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> does when loading a
zone. This makes <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span> useful for
checking zone files before configuring them into a name server.
</p>
<p>
<span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span> is similar to
<span><strong class="command">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><strong class="command">named</strong></span>.
When manually specified otherwise, the check levels must at
least be as strict as those specified in the
<span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> configuration file.
</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><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>
program and exit.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-j</span></dt>
<dd><p>
When loading the zone file read the journal if it exists.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-c <em class="replaceable"><code>class</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Specify the class of the zone. If not specified, "IN" is assumed.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-i <em class="replaceable"><code>mode</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Perform post-load zone integrity checks. Possible modes are
<span><strong class="command">"full"</strong></span> (default),
<span><strong class="command">"full-sibling"</strong></span>,
<span><strong class="command">"local"</strong></span>,
<span><strong class="command">"local-sibling"</strong></span> and
<span><strong class="command">"none"</strong></span>.
</p>
<p>
Mode <span><strong class="command">"full"</strong></span> checks that MX records
refer to A or AAAA record (both in-zone and out-of-zone
hostnames). Mode <span><strong class="command">"local"</strong></span> only
checks MX records which refer to in-zone hostnames.
</p>
<p>
Mode <span><strong class="command">"full"</strong></span> checks that SRV records
refer to A or AAAA record (both in-zone and out-of-zone
hostnames). Mode <span><strong class="command">"local"</strong></span> only
checks SRV records which refer to in-zone hostnames.
</p>
<p>
Mode <span><strong class="command">"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><strong class="command">"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><strong class="command">"full-sibling"</strong></span> and
<span><strong class="command">"local-sibling"</strong></span> disable sibling glue
checks but are otherwise the same as <span><strong class="command">"full"</strong></span>
and <span><strong class="command">"local"</strong></span> respectively.
</p>
<p>
Mode <span><strong class="command">"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.
Possible formats are <span><strong class="command">"text"</strong></span> (default)
and <span><strong class="command">"raw"</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-F <em class="replaceable"><code>format</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Specify the format of the output file specified.
For <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>,
this does not cause any effects unless it dumps the zone
contents.
</p>
<p>
Possible formats are <span><strong class="command">"text"</strong></span> (default)
and <span><strong class="command">"raw"</strong></span> or <span><strong class="command">"raw=N"</strong></span>,
which store the zone in a binary format for rapid loading
by <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>. <span><strong class="command">"raw=N"</strong></span>
specifies the format version of the raw zone file: if N
is 0, the raw file can be read by any version of
<span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>; if N is 1, the file can be read
by release 9.9.0 or higher. The default is 1.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-k <em class="replaceable"><code>mode</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Perform <span><strong class="command">"check-names"</strong></span> checks with the
specified failure mode.
Possible modes are <span><strong class="command">"fail"</strong></span>
(default for <span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span>),
<span><strong class="command">"warn"</strong></span>
(default for <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>) and
<span><strong class="command">"ignore"</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-L <em class="replaceable"><code>serial</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
When compiling a zone to 'raw' format, set the "source serial"
value in the header to the specified serial number. (This is
expected to be used primarily for testing purposes.)
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-m <em class="replaceable"><code>mode</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Specify whether MX records should be checked to see if they
are addresses. Possible modes are <span><strong class="command">"fail"</strong></span>,
<span><strong class="command">"warn"</strong></span> (default) and
<span><strong class="command">"ignore"</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-M <em class="replaceable"><code>mode</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Check if a MX record refers to a CNAME.
Possible modes are <span><strong class="command">"fail"</strong></span>,
<span><strong class="command">"warn"</strong></span> (default) and
<span><strong class="command">"ignore"</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-n <em class="replaceable"><code>mode</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Specify whether NS records should be checked to see if they
are addresses.
Possible modes are <span><strong class="command">"fail"</strong></span>
(default for <span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span>),
<span><strong class="command">"warn"</strong></span>
(default for <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>) and
<span><strong class="command">"ignore"</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-o <em class="replaceable"><code>filename</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Write zone output to <code class="filename">filename</code>.
If <code class="filename">filename</code> is <code class="filename">-</code> then
write to standard out.
This is mandatory for <span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-r <em class="replaceable"><code>mode</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Check for records that are treated as different by DNSSEC but
are semantically equal in plain DNS.
Possible modes are <span><strong class="command">"fail"</strong></span>,
<span><strong class="command">"warn"</strong></span> (default) and
<span><strong class="command">"ignore"</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-s <em class="replaceable"><code>style</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Specify the style of the dumped zone file.
Possible styles are <span><strong class="command">"full"</strong></span> (default)
and <span><strong class="command">"relative"</strong></span>.
The full format is most suitable for processing
automatically by a separate script.
On the other hand, the relative format is more
human-readable and is thus suitable for editing by hand.
For <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>
this does not cause any effects unless it dumps the zone
contents.
It also does not have any meaning if the output format
is not text.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-S <em class="replaceable"><code>mode</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Check if a SRV record refers to a CNAME.
Possible modes are <span><strong class="command">"fail"</strong></span>,
<span><strong class="command">"warn"</strong></span> (default) and
<span><strong class="command">"ignore"</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-t <em class="replaceable"><code>directory</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Chroot to <code class="filename">directory</code> so that
include
directives in the configuration file are processed as if
run by a similarly chrooted named.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-T <em class="replaceable"><code>mode</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Check if Sender Policy Framework records (TXT and SPF)
both exist or both don't exist. A warning is issued
if they don't match. Possible modes are
<span><strong class="command">"warn"</strong></span> (default), <span><strong class="command">"ignore"</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-w <em class="replaceable"><code>directory</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
chdir to <code class="filename">directory</code> so that
relative
filenames in master file $INCLUDE directives work. This
is similar to the directory clause in
<code class="filename">named.conf</code>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-D</span></dt>
<dd><p>
Dump zone file in canonical format.
This is always enabled for <span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-W <em class="replaceable"><code>mode</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Specify whether to check for non-terminal wildcards.
Non-terminal wildcards are almost always the result of a
failure to understand the wildcard matching algorithm (RFC 1034).
Possible modes are <span><strong class="command">"warn"</strong></span> (default)
and
<span><strong class="command">"ignore"</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">zonename</span></dt>
<dd><p>
The domain name of the zone being checked.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">filename</span></dt>
<dd><p>
The name of the zone file.
