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 pid‐
	      file.

       -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 pat‐
	      terns 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, noth‐
	      ing 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.

FILES
       /usr/local/etc/nsd/nsd.conf
