SYNOPSIS

9       tsig-keygen [-a algorithm] [-h] [name]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       tsig-keygen  is an utility that generates keys for use in TSIG signing.
13       The resulting keys can be used, for example, to secure dynamic DNS  up‐
14       dates to a zone, or for the rndc command channel.
15
16       A  domain  name  can be specified on the command line to be used as the
17       name of the generated key. If no name  is  specified,  the  default  is
18       tsig-key.

24              hmac-sha256,   hmac-sha384,  and  hmac-sha512.  The  default  is
25              hmac-sha256. Options are case-insensitive, and the "hmac-"  pre‐
