Description
The utility checks zone file syntax and runs semantic checks on the zone
content. The executed checks are the same as the checks run by the Knot
DNS server.
Please, refer to the semantic-checks configuration option in
knot.conf(5) for the full list of available semantic checks.
Parameters
- filename
- Path to the zone file to be checked. For reading from stdin use /dev/stdin
or just -.
Options
- -o, –origin origin
- Zone origin. If not specified, the origin is determined from the file name
(possibly removing the .zone suffix).
- -d, –dnssec on|off
- Also check DNSSEC-related records. The default is to decide based on the
existence of a RRSIG for SOA.
- -z, –zonemd
- Also check the zone hash against a ZONEMD record, which is required to exist.
- -t, –time time
- Current time specification. Use UNIX timestamp, YYYYMMDDHHmmSS
format, or [+/-]time[unit] format, where unit can be Y, M,
D, h, m, or s. Default is current UNIX timestamp.
- -p, –print
- Print the zone on stdout.
- -v, –verbose
- Enable debug output.
- -h, –help
- Print the program help.
- -V, –version
- Print the program version.
