DNSSEC-REVOKE(8)						       BIND9							  DNSSEC-REVOKE(8)

NAME

       dnssec-revoke - Set the REVOKED bit on a DNSSEC key

SYNOPSIS

       dnssec-revoke [-hr] [-v level] [-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, and creates a new pair of key files
       containing the now-revoked key.

OPTIONS

       -h
	   Emit usage message and exit.

       -K directory
	   Sets the directory in which the key files are to reside.

       -r
	   After writing the new keyset files remove the original keyset files.

       -v level
	   Sets the debugging level.

       -E engine
	   Use the given OpenSSL engine. When compiled with PKCS#11 support it defaults to pkcs11; the empty name resets it to no engine.

       -f
	   Force overwrite: 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
	   Print the key tag of the key with the REVOKE bit set but do not revoke the key.
