<p><span><strong class="command">dnssec-settime</strong></span>
reads a DNSSEC private key file, sets the key timing metadata
as specified by the <code class="option">-P</code>, <code class="option">-A</code>,
<code class="option">-R</code>, <code class="option">-U</code>, and <code class="option">-D</code>
options.
</p>
<p>
If none of these options is set on the command line,
then <span><strong class="command">dnssec-settime</strong></span> simply prints the key timing
metadata already stored in the key.

<div class="variablelist"><dl>
<dt><span class="term">-h</span></dt>
<dd><p>
Emit usage message and exit.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-K <em class="replaceable"><code>directory</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Sets the directory in which the key files are to reside.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-P <em class="replaceable"><code>date/offset</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Sets the date on which a key is to be published to the zone.
After that date, the key will be included in the zone but will
not be used to sign it.
</p>
<p>
Dates can be expressed in the format YYYYMMDD or YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
If the argument begins with a '+' or '-', it is interpreted as
an offset from the present time. If an offset is followed by
one of the characters 'y', 'm', 'w', 'd', or 'h', then the
offset is computed in years, months, weeks, days, or hours,
respectively; otherwise it is computed in seconds.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-A <em class="replaceable"><code>date/offset</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Sets the date on which the key is to be activated. After that
date, the key will be included and the zone and used to sign
it.
</p>
<p>
The date/offset syntax is identical to that in the
<code class="option">-P</code> option.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-R <em class="replaceable"><code>date/offset</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Sets the date on which the key is to be revoked. After that
date, the key will be flagged as revoked. It will be included
in the zone and will be used to sign it.
</p>
<p>
The date/offset syntax is identical to that in the
<code class="option">-P</code> option.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-U <em class="replaceable"><code>date/offset</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Sets the date on which the key is to be unpublished. After that
date, the key will no longer be included in the zone, but it
may remain in the key repository.
</p>
<p>
The date/offset syntax is identical to that in the
<code class="option">-P</code> option.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-D <em class="replaceable"><code>date/offset</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Sets the date on which the key is to be deleted. After that
date, the key can be removed from the key repository.
</p>
<p>
The date/offset syntax is identical to that in the
<code class="option">-P</code> option.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-v <em class="replaceable"><code>level</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Sets the debugging level.
