4162N/A reads a public DNSKEY record and generates a pair of
4194N/A existing .key file, in which case a corresponding .private file
4194N/A will be generated, or it may be read from any other file or
346N/A from the standard input, in which case both .key and .private
5680N/A The newly-created .private file does <
span class="emphasis"><
em>not</
em></
span>
346N/A contain private key data, and cannot be used for signing.
5680N/A However, having a .private file makes it possible to set
5680N/A publication (<
code class="option">-P</
code>) and deletion
5680N/A (<
code class="option">-D</
code>) times for the key, which means the
6453N/A public key can be added to and removed from the DNSKEY RRset
6453N/A on schedule even if the true private key is stored offline.

346N/A Zone file mode: instead of a public keyfile name, the argument
351N/A is the DNS domain name of a zone master file, which can be read
351N/A from <
code class="option">file</
code>. If the domain name is the same as
351N/A <
code class="option">file</
code>, then it may be omitted.
346N/A If <

351N/A the zone data is read from the standard input.

6453N/A Sets the default TTL to use for this key when it is converted
6453N/A into a DNSKEY RR. If the key is imported into a zone,
6453N/A this is the TTL that will be used for it, unless there was
6453N/A already a DNSKEY RRset in place, in which case the existing TTL
6453N/A would take precedence. Setting the default TTL to
4162N/A <
code class="literal">0</
code> or <
code class="literal">none</
code> removes it.

5680N/A Dates can be expressed in the format YYYYMMDD or YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
5680N/A If the argument begins with a '+' or '-', it is interpreted as
4337N/A an offset from the present time. For convenience, if such an offset
6453N/A is followed by one of the suffixes 'y', 'mo', 'w', 'd', 'h', or 'mi',
3817N/A then the offset is computed in years (defined as 365 24-hour days,
3817N/A ignoring leap years), months (defined as 30 24-hour days), weeks,
6453N/A days, hours, or minutes, respectively. Without a suffix, the offset
4162N/A is computed in seconds. To explicitly prevent a date from being
3817N/A set, use 'none' or 'never'.
