  named-checkzone - zone file validity checking tool


SYNOPSIS

  name server.

  -q   Quiet mode - exit code only.

  -v   Print the version of the named-checkzone program and exit.

  -c class
       Specify the class of the zone. If not specified "IN" is assumed.

       The domain name of the zone being checked.

  filename
       The name of the zone file.


RETURN VALUES

  named-checkzone returns an exit status of 1 if errors were detected and 0
  otherwise.
