-checks the syntax, but not the semantics, of a named configuration file.
+checks the syntax, but not the semantics, of a
+\fBnamed\fR
+configuration file. The file is parsed and checked for syntax errors, along with all files included by it. If no file is specified,
+\fI/etc/named.conf\fR
+is read by default.
+.PP
+Note: files that
+\fBnamed\fR
+reads in separate parser contexts, such as
+\fIrndc.key\fR
+and
+\fIbind.keys\fR, are not automatically read by
+\fBnamed\-checkconf\fR. Configuration errors in these files may cause
+\fBnamed\fR
+to fail to run, even if
+\fBnamed\-checkconf\fR
+was successful.
+\fBnamed\-checkconf\fR
+can be run on these files explicitly, however.
