10139N/A Sets the default TTL to use for this key when it is converted
13468N/A into a DNSKEY RR. If the key is imported into a zone,
13468N/A this is the TTL that will be used for it, unless there was
13468N/A already a DNSKEY RRset in place, in which case the existing TTL
13468N/A would take precedence. Setting the default TTL to
10139N/A <
code class="literal">0</
code> or <
code class="literal">none</

10139N/A Dates can be expressed in the format YYYYMMDD or YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
10139N/A If the argument begins with a '+' or '-', it is interpreted as
10139N/A an offset from the present time. For convenience, if such an offset
10139N/A is followed by one of the suffixes 'y', 'mo', 'w', 'd', 'h', or 'mi',
10139N/A then the offset is computed in years (defined as 365 24-hour days,
10139N/A ignoring leap years), months (defined as 30 24-hour days), weeks,
10139N/A days, hours, or minutes, respectively. Without a suffix, the offset
10139N/A is computed in seconds. To unset a date, use 'none'.

13468N/A predecessor key must exactly match those of the key being
13468N/A modified. The activation date of the successor key will be set
13468N/A to the inactivation date of the predecessor. The publication
13468N/A date will be set to the activation date minus the prepublication
13445N/A interval, which defaults to 30 days.

12628N/A Sets the prepublication interval for a key. If set, then
12436N/A the publication and activation dates must be separated by at least
12436N/A this much time. If the activation date is specified but the
12304N/A publication date isn't, then the publication date will default
12304N/A to this much time before the activation date; conversely, if
12282N/A the publication date is specified but activation date isn't,
12282N/A then activation will be set to this much time after publication.
11010N/A If the key is being set to be an explicit successor to another
11010N/A key, then the default prepublication interval is 30 days;
10802N/A As with date offsets, if the argument is followed by one of
10802N/A the suffixes 'y', 'mo', 'w', 'd', 'h', or 'mi', then the
10344N/A interval is measured in years, months, weeks, days, hours,
