</h2>
55 <p><span><strong class=
"command">dnssec-importkey
</strong></span>
56 reads a public DNSKEY record and generates a pair of
57 .key/.private files. The DNSKEY record may be read from an
58 existing .key file, in which case a corresponding .private file
59 will be generated, or it may be read from any other file or
60 from the standard input, in which case both .key and .private
61 files will be generated.
64 The newly-created .private file does
<span class=
"emphasis"><em>not
</em></span>
65 contain private key data, and cannot be used for signing.
66 However, having a .private file makes it possible to set
67 publication (
<code class=
"option">-P
</code>) and deletion
68 (
<code class=
"option">-D
</code>) times for the key, which means the
69 public key can be added to and removed from the DNSKEY RRset
70 on schedule even if the true private key is stored offline.

79 Zone file mode: instead of a public keyfile name, the argument
80 is the DNS domain name of a zone master file, which can be read
81 from
<code class=
"option">file
</code>. If the domain name is the same as
82 <code class=
"option">file
</code>, then it may be omitted.
85 If
<code class=
"option">file
</code> is set to
<code class=
"literal">"-"</code>, then
86 the zone data is read from the standard input.
89 <dt><span class=

91 Sets the directory in which the key files are to reside.
93 <dt><span class=

<em class=
"replaceable"><code>ttl
</code></em></span></dt>
95 Sets the default TTL to use for this key when it is converted
96 into a DNSKEY RR. If the key is imported into a zone,
97 this is the TTL that will be used for it, unless there was
98 already a DNSKEY RRset in place, in which case the existing TTL
99 would take precedence. Setting the default TTL to
100 <code class=
"literal">0</code> or
<code class=
"literal">none
</code> removes it.

</h2>
119 Dates can be expressed in the format YYYYMMDD or YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
120 If the argument begins with a '+' or '-', it is interpreted as
121 an offset from the present time. For convenience, if such an offset
122 is followed by one of the suffixes 'y', 'mo', 'w', 'd', 'h', or 'mi',
123 then the offset is computed in years (defined as
365 24-hour days,
124 ignoring leap years), months (defined as
30 24-hour days), weeks,
125 days, hours, or minutes, respectively. Without a suffix, the offset
126 is computed in seconds. To explicitly prevent a date from being
127 set, use 'none' or 'never'.
129 <div class=
"variablelist"><dl>
130 <dt><span class=
"term">-P
<em class=
"replaceable"><code>date/offset
</code></em></span></dt>
132 Sets the date on which a key is to be published to the zone.
133 After that date, the key will be included in the zone but will
134 not be used to sign it.
136 <dt><span class=
"term">-D
<em class=
"replaceable"><code>date/offset
</code></em></span></dt>
138 Sets the date on which the key is to be deleted. After that
139 date, the key will no longer be included in the zone. (It
140 may remain in the key repository, however.)
