62 <div class=

65 Specifies the DNS class of the zone.

70 Specifies the cryptographic hardware to use, when applicable.
73 When BIND is built with OpenSSL PKCS#
11 support, this defaults
74 to the string
"pkcs11", which identifies an OpenSSL engine
75 that can drive a cryptographic accelerator or hardware service
76 module. When BIND is built with native PKCS#
11 cryptography
77 (--enable-native-pkcs11), it defaults to the path of the PKCS#
11
78 provider library specified via
"--with-pkcs11".
81 <dt><span class=

83 The format of the input zone file.
84 Possible formats are
<span><strong class=
"command">"text"</strong></span> (default)
85 and
<span><strong class=
"command">"raw"</strong></span>.
86 This option is primarily intended to be used for dynamic
87 signed zones so that the dumped zone file in a non-text
88 format containing updates can be verified independently.
89 The use of this option does not make much sense for
92 <dt><span class=
"term">-o
<em class=
"replaceable"><code>origin
</code></em></span></dt>
94 The zone origin. If not specified, the name of the zone file
95 is assumed to be the origin.
97 <dt><span class=
"term">-v
<em class=
"replaceable"><code>level
</code></em></span></dt>
99 Sets the debugging level.
101 <dt><span class=

103 Prints version information.
105 <dt><span class=

</span></dt>
107 Only verify that the DNSKEY RRset is signed with key-signing
108 keys. Without this flag, it is assumed that the DNSKEY RRset
109 will be signed by all active keys. When this flag is set,
110 it will not be an error if the DNSKEY RRset is not signed
111 by zone-signing keys. This corresponds to the
<code class=
"option">-x
</code>
112 option in
<span><strong class=
"command">dnssec-signzone
</strong></span>.
114 <dt><span class=
"term">-z
</span></dt>
117 Ignore the KSK flag on the keys when determining whether
118 the zone if correctly signed. Without this flag it is
119 assumed that there will be a non-revoked, self-signed
120 DNSKEY with the KSK flag set for each algorithm and
121 that RRsets other than DNSKEY RRset will be signed with
122 a different DNSKEY without the KSK flag set.
125 With this flag set, we only require that for each algorithm,
126 there will be at least one non-revoked, self-signed DNSKEY,
127 regardless of the KSK flag state, and that other RRsets
128 will be signed by a non-revoked key for the same algorithm
129 that includes the self-signed key; the same key may be used
130 for both purposes. This corresponds to the
<code class=
"option">-z
</code>
131 option in
<span><strong class=
"command">dnssec-signzone
</strong></span>.
134 <dt><span class=
"term">zonefile
</span></dt>
136 The file containing the zone to be signed.
