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 -.

-o, --origin origin
    Zone origin. If not specified, the origin is determined from the file name (possibly removing the .zone suffix).

    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
