What does 'radius -C' do? (2.1.3)

[Mike Diggins]

Just as a quick example, I added this line to radius.conf:

$INCLUDE dsdfsdf/	# bogus line

radiusd -C doesn't complain:

[root at rad01 raddb]# /usr/local/freeradius/sbin/radiusd -C
[root at rad01 raddb]#

But:

Radius -XC does:

including files in directory /usr/local/freeradius/etc/raddb/dsdfsdf/
/usr/local/freeradius/etc/raddb/radiusd.conf[96]: Error reading directory 
/usr/local/freeradius/etc/raddb/dsdfsdf/: No such file or directory
Errors reading /usr/local/freeradius/etc/raddb/radiusd.conf
[root at prad01 raddb]#

Basically I just wanted to do a quick syntax check to ensure radius will 
start, in case I mangle something in the config.
