dnssec-revoke - Man Page

dnssec-revoke [-hr] [-v level] [-V] [-K directory] [-E engine] [-f] [-R] {keyfile}

dnssec-revoke reads a DNSSEC key file, sets the REVOKED bit on the key as defined in RFC 5011, and creates a new pair of key files containing the now-revoked key.

-h

This option emits a usage message and exits.

-K directory

This option sets the directory in which the key files are to reside.

-r

This option indicates to remove the original keyset files after writing the new keyset files.

-v level

This option sets the debugging level.

-V

This option prints version information.

-E engine

This option specifies the cryptographic hardware to use, when applicable.

When BIND 9 is built with OpenSSL, this needs to be set to the OpenSSL engine identifier that drives the cryptographic accelerator or hardware service module (usually pkcs11).

-f

This option indicates a forced overwrite and causes dnssec-revoke to write the new key pair, even if a file already exists matching the algorithm and key ID of the revoked key.

-R

This option prints the key tag of the key with the REVOKE bit set, but does not revoke the key.
