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

Synopsis
~~~~~~~~

:program:`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`, 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.

**-V**
   Prints version information.

**-E** engine
   Specifies the cryptographic hardware to use, when applicable.

   When BIND is built with OpenSSL PKCS#11 support, this defaults to the
   string "pkcs11", which identifies an OpenSSL engine that can drive a
   cryptographic accelerator or hardware service module. When BIND is
   built with native PKCS#11 cryptography (--enable-native-pkcs11), it
   defaults to the path of the PKCS#11 provider library specified via
   "--with-pkcs11".

**-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.
