How to validate NRPE config file?

Nagios itself has the way to check its config file for validity, to ensure it would at least load the config without errors:

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Is it possible to do the same thing for the NRPE daemon? The manual page for NRPE suggests it doesn't support that. I intend to update the NRPE config with Ansible's lineinfile module, so I want to check for validity to be sure at least I don't break the monitoring completely.
