| Option | Description | Source |

-E engine | This option specifies the cryptographic hardware to use, when applicable. | man |
-e date/offset | This option sets the end date for which keys or SKRs need to be generated (depending on the command). | man |
-F | This options turns on FIPS (US Federal Information Processing Standards) mode if the underlying crytographic library supports running in FIPS mode. | man |
-f | This option sets the SKR file to be signed when issuing a sign command. | man |
-h | This option prints a short summary of the options and arguments to dnssec-ksr. | man |
-i date/offset | This option sets the start date for which keys or SKRs need to be generated (depending on the command). | man |
-K directory | This option sets the directory in which the key files are to be read or written (depending on the command). | man |
-k policy | This option sets the specific dnssec-policy for which keys need to be generated, or signed. | man |
-l file | This option provides a configuration file that contains a dnssec-policy statement (matching the policy set with -k). | man |

dnssec-ksr -i now -e +1y -k mypolicy -l named.conf keygen example.com
When you need to generate ZSKs for the zone "example.com" for the next year, given a dnssec-policy named "mypolicy":dnssec-ksr -i now -e +1y -k mypolicy -l named.conf request example.com > ksr.txt
Creating a KSR for the same zone and period can be done with:dnssec-ksr -i now -e +1y -k kskpolicy -l named.conf -f ksr.txt sign example.com
Signing the KSR created above can be done with:
