nsd-checkconf(8)                   nsd 4.1.7                  nsd-checkconf(8)

NAME
       nsd-checkconf - NSD configuration file checker.

SYNOPSIS
       nsd-checkconf [-v] [-f] [-h] [-o option] [-z zonename] [-p pattern] [-s
       keyname] configfile

DESCRIPTION
       nsd-checkconf reads a configuration file. It prints parse errors to
       standard error, and performs additional checks on the contents. The
       configfile format is described in nsd.conf(5).

       The utility of this program is to check a config file for errors before
       using it in nsd(8). This program can also be used for shell scripts to
       access the nsd config file, using the -o and -z options.

OPTIONS
       -v     After reading print the options to standard output in configfile
              format. Without this option, only success or parse errors are
              reported.

       -f     Print full pathname when used with files, like with -o pidfile.
              This includes the chroot in the way it is applied to the
              pidfile.

       -h     Print usage help information and exit.

       -o option
              Return only this option from the config file. This option can be
              used in conjunction with the -z and the -p option, or without
              them to query the server: section.  The special value zones
              prints out a list of configured zones.  The special value
              patterns prints out a list of configured patterns.

              This option can be used to parse the config file from the shell.
              If the -z option is given, but the -o option is not given,
              nothing is printed.

       -s keyname
              Prints the key secret (base64 blob) configured for this key in
              the config file. Used to help shell scripts parse the config
              file.

       -p pattern
              Return the option specified with -o for the given pattern name.

       -z zonename
              Return the option specified with -o for zone 'zonename'.

              If this option is not given, the server section of the config
              file is used.

              The -o, -s and -z option print configfile options to standard
              output.
