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.
