## DESCRIPTION

`dnssec-revoke` reads a DNSSEC key file, sets the REVOKED bit on the key as defined in RFC 5011, and creates a new pair of key files containing the now-revoked key.

## OPTIONS

-h

  Emit usage message and exit.

-K directory

  Sets the directory in which the key files are to reside.

-r

  After writing the new keyset files remove the original keyset files.

-v level

  Sets the debugging level.

-E engine

  Use the given OpenSSL engine. When compiled with PKCS#11 support it defaults to pkcs11; the empty name resets it to no engine.

-f

  Force overwrite: Causes `dnssec-revoke` to write the new key pair even if a file already exists matching the algorithm and key ID of the revoked key.
