<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
<command>nsec3hash</command> generates an NSEC3 hash based on
a set of NSEC3 parameters. This can be used to check the validity
of NSEC3 records in a signed zone.

<title>ARGUMENTS</title>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>salt</term>
<listitem>
<para>
The salt provided to the hash algorithm.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>algorithm</term>
<listitem>
<para>
A number indicating the hash algorithm. Currently the
only supported hash algorithm for NSEC3 is SHA-1, which is
indicated by the number 1; consequently "1" is the only
useful value for this argument.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>iterations</term>
<listitem>
<para>
The number of additional times the hash should be performed.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>domain</term>
<listitem>
<para>
The domain name to be hashed.
