-S mode

Check if a SRV record refers to a CNAME. Possible modes are "fail", "warn" (default) and "ignore".

-t directory

Chroot to directory so that include directives in the configuration file are processed as if run by a similarly chrooted named.

-T mode

Check if Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records exist and issues a warning if an SPF-formatted TXT record is not also present. Possible modes are "warn" (default), "ignore".

-w directory

chdir to directory so that relative filenames in master file $INCLUDE directives work. This is similar to the directory clause in named.conf.

-D

Dump zone file in canonical format. This is always enabled for named-compilezone.

-W mode

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 "warn" (default) and "ignore".

zonename

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.
