KZONECHECK(1)                      Knot DNS                      KZONECHECK(1)

NAME
       kzonecheck - Knot DNS zone check tool

SYNOPSIS
       kzonecheck [options] filename

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.

EXIT VALUES
       Exit status of 0 means successful operation. Any other exit status
       indicates an error.
