We report a study describing the charm quark by a domain-wall fermion (DWF) in lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Our study uses a quenched gauge ensemble with the DBW2 rectangle-improved gauge action at a lattice cutoff of $a^{-1} \sim 3$ GeV. We calculate masses of heavy-light (charmed) and heavy-heavy (charmonium) mesons with spin-parity $J^P = 0^\mp$ and $1^\mp$, leptonic decay constants of the charmed pseudoscalar mesons ($D$ and $D_s$), and the $D^0$-$\bar{D^0}$ mixing parameter. The charm quark mass is found to be $m^{\bar{\rm MS}}_{c}(m_{c})=1.24(1)(18)$ GeV. The mass splittings in charmed-meson parity partners $\Delta_{q,J=0}$ and $\Delta_{q, J=1}$ are degenerate within statistical errors, in accord with experiment, and they satisfy a relation $\Delta_{q=ud, J} > \Delta_{q=s, J}$, also consistent with experiment. A C-odd axial vector charmonium state, $h_c), lies 22(11) MeV above the $\chi_{c1}$ meson, or $m_{h_{c}} = 3533(11)_{\rm stat.}$ MeV using the experimental $\chi_{c1}) mass. However, in this regard, we emphasize significant discrepancies in the calculation of hyperfine splittings on the lattice. The leptonic decay constants of $D$ and $D_s$ mesons are found to be $f_D=232(7)_{\rm stat.}(^{+6}_{-0})_{\rm chiral}(11)_{\rm syst.}$ MeV and $f_{D_s}/f_{D} = 1.05(2)_{\rm stat.}(^{+0}_{-2})_{\rm chiral}(2)_{\rm syst.}$, where the first error is statistical, the second a systematic due to chiral extrapolation and the third error combination of other known systematics. The $D^0$-$\bar{D^0}$ mixing bag parameter, which enters the $\Delta C = 2$ transition amplitude, is found to be $B_D(2{GeV})=0.845(24)_{\rm stat.}(^{+24}_{-6})_{\rm chiral}(105)_{\rm syst.}$.
