print a short summary of its command line options
and arguments.
.Pp
-The
-.Fl p
-option instructs
-.Nm dnssec-signkey
-to use pseudo-random data when signing the keys. This is faster, but
-less secure, than using genuinely random data for signing.
-This option may be useful when there are many child zone keysets to
-sign or if the entropy source is limited.
-It could also be used for short-lived keys and signatures that don't
-require as much protection against cryptanalysis, such as when the key
-will be discarded long before it could be compromised.
.Nm dnssec-signkey
