Treat specified key as a key signing key ignoring any key flags. This option may be specified multiple times.
-l domain
Generate a DLV set in addition to the key (DNSKEY) and DS sets. The domain is appended to the name of the records.
-d directory
Look for keyset files in directory as the directory
-g
Generate DS records for child zones from keyset files. Existing DS records will be removed.
-s start-time
Specify the date and time when the generated RRSIG records become valid. This can be either an absolute or relative time. An absolute start time is indicated by a number in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS notation; 20000530144500 denotes 14:45:00 UTC on May 30th, 2000. A relative start time is indicated by +N, which is N seconds from the current time. If no start-time is specified, the current time minus 1 hour (to allow for clock skew) is used.
-e end-time
Specify the date and time when the generated RRSIG records expire. As with start-time, an absolute time is indicated in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS notation. A time relative to the start time is indicated with +N, which is N seconds from the start time. A time relative to the current time is indicated with now+N. If no end-time is specified, 30 days from the start time is used as a default.
-f output-file
The name of the output file containing the signed zone. The default is to append .signed to the input file.
-h
Prints a short summary of the options and arguments to dnssec-signzone.
-i interval
When a previously signed zone is passed as input, records may be resigned. The interval option specifies the cycle interval as an offset from the current time (in seconds). If a RRSIG record expires after the cycle interval, it is retained. Otherwise, it is considered to be expiring soon, and it will be replaced.
The default cycle interval is one quarter of the difference between the signature end and start times. So if neither end-time or start-time are specified, dnssec-signzone generates signatures that are valid for 30 days, with a cycle interval of 7.5 days. Therefore, if any existing RRSIG records are due to expire in less than 7.5 days, they would be replaced.
-n ncpus
Specifies the number of threads to use. By default, one thread is started for each detected CPU.
-o origin
The zone origin. If not specified, the name of the zone file is assumed to be the origin.
-p
Use pseudo-random data when signing the zone. This is faster, but less secure, than using real random data. This option may be useful when signing large zones or when the entropy source is limited.
-r randomdev
Specifies the source of randomness. If the operating system does not provide a /dev/random or equivalent device, the default source of randomness is keyboard input. randomdev specifies the name of a character device or file containing random data to be used instead of the default. The special value keyboard indicates that keyboard input should be used.
-t
Print statistics at completion.
-v level
Sets the debugging level.
-z
Ignore KSK flag on key when determining what to sign.
zonefile
The file containing the zone to be signed. Sets the debugging level.
key
The keys used to sign the zone. If no keys are specified, the default all zone keys that have private key files in the current directory.
