SYNOPSIS
       ldns-verify-zone ZONEFILE


DESCRIPTION
       ldns-verify-zone reads a DNS zone file and verifies it.

       RRSIG resource records are checked against the DNSKEY set at the zone apex.

       Each name is checked for an NSEC(3), if appropriate.

       -a     Apex only, check only the zone apex


       -p [0-100]
              Only check this percentage of the zone.  Which names to check is determined randomly.  Defaults to 100.


       -h     Show usage and exit


       -v     Show the version and exit


       -V number
              Set the verbosity level (default 3):

               1: Print result, and any errors
               2: Same as 1 for now
               3: Print result, any errors, and the names that are
                  being checked
               4: Same as 3 for now
