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 re-
	      side.

       -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 acceler-
	      ator or hardware service module (usually pkcs11).

       -f     This option indicates a forced overwrite and  causes  dnssec-re-
	      voke  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.
