NAME
     kzonesign - DNSSEC signing utility

SYNOPSIS
     kzonesign [config_option] [options] zone_name

DESCRIPTION
     This  utility reads the zone's zone file, signs the zone according to given
     configuration, and writes the signed zone file back. An alternative mode is
     DNSSEC validation of the given zone. The signing or validation can  run  in
     parallel  if  enabled  in the configuration (see policy.signing-threads and
     zone.adjust-threads).

   Parameters
     zone_name
	    A name of the zone to be signed.

   Config options
     -c, --config file
	    Use   a   textual	configuration	file   (default   is	/usr/lo-
	    cal/etc/knot/knot.conf).

     -C, --confdb directory
	    Use  a  binary configuration database directory (default is /usr/lo-
	    cal/var/lib/knot/confdb).  The default  configuration  database,  if
	    exists, has a preference to the default configuration file.

   Options
     -o, --outdir dir_name
	    Write the output zone file to the specified directory instead of the
	    configured one.

     -r, --rollover
	    Allow  key roll-overs and NSEC3 re-salt. In order to finish possible
	    KSK submission, set the KSK's active timestamp  to	now  (+0)  using
	    keymgr.

     -v, --verify
	    Instead  of (re-)signing the zone, just verify that the zone is cor-
	    rectly signed.

     -t, --time timestamp
	    Sign/verify the zone (and roll the keys if necessary) as if  it  was
	    at the time specified by timestamp.

     -h, --help
	    Print the program help.

     -V, --version
	    Print  the	program  version. The option -VV makes the program print
	    the compile time configuration summary.

EXIT VALUES
     Exit status of 0 means successful operation. Any other  exit  status  indi-
     cates an error.
