NAME

       tsig-keygen - TSIG key generation tool

SYNOPSIS

       tsig-keygen [-a algorithm] [-h] [name]

DESCRIPTION

       tsig-keygen is an utility that generates keys for use in TSIG signing.  The resulting keys
       can be used, for example, to secure dynamic DNS updates to a zone, or for the rndc command
       channel.

       A domain name can be specified on the command line to be used as the name of the generated
       key. If no name is specified, the default is tsig-key.

OPTIONS

       -a algorithm
              This option specifies the algorithm to use for the TSIG key. Available choices are:
              hmac-md5,  hmac-sha1,  hmac-sha224,  hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384, and hmac-sha512. The
              default is hmac-sha256. Options are case-insensitive, and the "hmac-" prefix may be
              omitted.

       -h     This option prints a short summary of options and arguments.
