DNSSEC-REVOKE(1)		     BIND 9			DNSSEC-REVOKE(1)

NAME
     dnssec-revoke - set the REVOKED bit on a DNSSEC key

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

DESCRIPTION
     dnssec-revoke reads a DNSSEC key file, sets the REVOKED bit on the  key  as
     defined  in  RFC 5011 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5011.html>,
     and creates a new pair of key files containing the now-revoked key.

OPTIONS
     -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 ap-
	    plicable.

	    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.
