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 SOA record owner in the zone file
	    is used and the zone file name (without possible  .zone  suffix)  is
	    considered as the initial zone origin in case the owner isn't FQDN.

     -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  for-
	    mat,  or [+/-]time[unit] format, where unit can be Y, M, D, h, m, or
	    s. Default is current UNIX timestamp.

     -j, --jobs jobs
	    The number of threads used for DNSSEC validation. Default is all CPU
	    threads available.

     -p, --print
	    Print the zone on stdout.

     -v, --verbose
	    Enable debug output.

     -h, --help
	    Print the program help.

     -V, --version
	    Print the program version. The option -VV makes  the  program  print
	    the compile time configuration summary.

EXIT VALUES
     Exit  status  of  0 means successful operation. Any other exit status indi-
     cates an error.
