.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBdnssec\-signzone\fR signs a zone\&. It generates NSEC and RRSIG records and produces a signed version of the zone\&. The security status of delegations from the signed zone (that is, whether the child zones are secure or not) is determined by the presence or absence of a \fIkeyset\fR file for each child zone\&.
When a previously signed zone is passed as input, records may be resigned\&. The \fBinterval\fR option specifies the cycle interval as an offset from the current time (in seconds)\&. If a RRSIG record expires after the cycle interval, it is retained\&. Otherwise, it is considered to be expiring soon, and it will be replaced\&.
The default cycle interval is one quarter of the difference between the signature end and start times\&. So if neither \fBend\-time\fR or \fBstart\-time\fR are specified, \fBdnssec\-signzone\fR generates signatures that are valid for 30 days, with a cycle interval of 7\&.5 days\&. Therefore, if any existing RRSIG records are due to expire in less than 7\&.5 days, they would be replaced\&.
.TP
+\-I \fIinput\-format\fR
+The format of the input zone file\&. Possible formats are \fB"text"\fR (default) and \fB"raw"\fR\&. This option is primarily intended to be used for dynamic signed zones so that the dumped zone file in a non\-text format containing updates can be signed directly\&. The use of this option does not make much sense for non\-dynamic zones\&.
+.TP
\-j \fIjitter\fR
When signing a zone with a fixed signature lifetime, all RRSIG records issued at the time of signing expires simultaneously\&. If the zone is incrementally signed, i\&.e\&. a previously signed zone is passed as input to the signer, all expired signatures has to be regenerated at about the same time\&. The \fBjitter\fR option specifies a jitter window that will be used to randomize the signature expire time, thus spreading incremental signature regeneration over time\&.
Signature lifetime jitter also to some extent benefits validators and servers by spreading out cache expiration, i\&.e\&. if large numbers of RRSIGs don't expire at the same time from all caches there will be less congestion than if all validators need to refetch at mostly the same time\&.
\-o \fIorigin\fR
The zone origin\&. If not specified, the name of the zone file is assumed to be the origin\&.
.TP
+\-O \fIoutput\-format\fR
+The format of the output file containing the signed zone\&. Possible formats are \fB"text"\fR (default) and \fB"raw"\fR\&.
+.TP
\-p
Use pseudo\-random data when signing the zone\&. This is faster, but less secure, than using real random data\&. This option may be useful when signing large zones or when the entropy source is limited\&.
