This command allows you to interact with the "dnssec-policy" of a given
zone.
``rndc dnssec -status`` show the DNSSEC signing state for the specified
zone.
+ ``rndc dnssec -step`` sends a signal to an instance of :iscman:`named` for a
+ zone configured with ``dnssec-policy`` in manual mode, telling it to
+ continue with the operations that had previously been blocked but logged.
+ This gives the human operator a chance to review the log messages,
+ understand what will happen next and then, using ``rndc dnssec -step``, to
+ inform :iscman:`named` to proceed to the next stage.
+
``rndc dnssec -rollover`` allows you to schedule key rollover for a
specific key (overriding the original key lifetime).
