> signs a zone. It generates NSEC
and RRSIG records and produces a signed version of the zone. If there
is a <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>signedkey</TT
> file from the zone's parent,
the parent's signatures will be incorporated into the generated
signed zone file. The security status of delegations from the
signed zone (that is, whether the child zones are secure or not) is
determined by the presence or absence of a
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>signedkey</TT
> file for each child zone.
