+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+ <para>
+ <command>nsec3hash</command> generates an NSEC3 hash based on
+ a set of NSEC3 parameters. This can be used to check the validity
+ of NSEC3 records in a signed zone.

+ <title>ARGUMENTS</title>
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>salt</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The salt provided to the hash algorithm.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>algorithm</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ A number indicating the hash algorithm. Currently the
+ only supported hash algorithm for NSEC3 is SHA-1, which is
+ indicated by the number 1; consequently "1" is the only
+ useful value for this argument.

+ <term>iterations</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The number of additional times the hash should be performed.
