b3700b074e637f8c6991b70754c88a2cfffb246bGordon Ross reads a public DNSKEY record and generates a pair of
b3700b074e637f8c6991b70754c88a2cfffb246bGordon Ross .key/.private files. The DNSKEY record may be read from an
b3700b074e637f8c6991b70754c88a2cfffb246bGordon Ross existing .key file, in which case a corresponding .private file
b3700b074e637f8c6991b70754c88a2cfffb246bGordon Ross will be generated, or it may be read from any other file or
b3700b074e637f8c6991b70754c88a2cfffb246bGordon Ross from the standard input, in which case both .key and .private
b3700b074e637f8c6991b70754c88a2cfffb246bGordon Ross files will be generated.

b3700b074e637f8c6991b70754c88a2cfffb246bGordon Ross However, having a .private file makes it possible to set
b3700b074e637f8c6991b70754c88a2cfffb246bGordon Ross publication (<code class="option">-P</code>) and deletion
b3700b074e637f8c6991b70754c88a2cfffb246bGordon Ross (<code class="option">-D</code>) times for the key, which means the
b3700b074e637f8c6991b70754c88a2cfffb246bGordon Ross public key can be added to and removed from the DNSKEY RRset
b3700b074e637f8c6991b70754c88a2cfffb246bGordon Ross on schedule even if the true private key is stored offline.
