<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para><command>named-checkconf</command>
checks the syntax, but not the semantics, of a
<command>named</command> configuration file. The file is parsed
and checked for syntax errors, along with all files included by it.
If no file is specified, <filename>/etc/named.conf</filename> is read
by default.
</para>
<para>
Note: files that <command>named</command> reads in separate
parser contexts, such as <filename>rndc.key</filename> and
<filename>bind.keys</filename>, are not automatically read
by <command>named-checkconf</command>. Configuration
errors in these files may cause <command>named</command> to
fail to run, even if <command>named-checkconf</command> was
successful. <command>named-checkconf</command> can be run
on these files explicitly, however.
</para>

<listitem>
<para>
Chroot to <filename>directory</filename> so that include
directives in the configuration file are processed as if
run by a similarly chrooted named.
</para>
</listitem>

Print the version of the <command>named-checkconf</command>
program and exit.

<term>-p</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Print out the <filename>named.conf</filename> and included files
in canonical form if no errors were detected.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>-x</term>
<listitem>
<para>
When printing the configuration files in canonical
form, obscure shared secrets by replacing them with
strings of question marks ('?'). This allows the
contents of <filename>named.conf</filename> and related
files to be shared — for example, when submitting
bug reports — without compromising private data.
This option cannot be used without <option>-p</option>.

<listitem>
<para>
When loading a zonefile read the journal if it exists.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>filename</term>
<listitem>
<para>
The name of the configuration file to be checked. If not
