NAME

       nsd-checkconf - NSD configuration file checker.

SYNOPSIS

       nsd-checkconf  [-v]  [-f]  [-h]  [-o  option]  [-z  zonename]  [-p pattern] [-s keyname] [-t tlsauthname]
       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.

       -t tls-auth
              Prints the authentication domain name configured for this tls-auth clause 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.
