Name
named-checkzone -- zone file validity checking tool
Synopsis
named-checkzone  [-d] [-q] [-v] [-c class] {zonename} {filename}
DESCRIPTION
        named-checkzone checks the syntax and integrity of
	a zone file.  It performs the same checks as named
	does when loading a zone.  This makes
	named-checkzone useful for checking zone
	files before configuring them into a name server.
