+ <para>
+ List, edit, or remove the DNSSEC signing state records
+ for the specified zone. The status of ongoing DNSSEC
+ operations (such as signing or generating
+ NSEC3 chains) is stored in the zone in the form
+ of DNS resource records of type
+ <command>sig-signing-type</command>.
+ <command>rndc signing -list</command> converts
+ these records into a human-readable form,
+ indicating which keys are currently signing
+ or have finished signing the zone, and which NSEC3
+ chains are being created or removed.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <command>rndc signing -clear</command> can remove
+ a single key (specified in the same format that
+ <command>rndc signing -list</command> uses to
+ display it), or all keys. In either case, only
+ completed keys are removed; any record indicating
+ that a key has not yet finished signing the zone
+ will be retained.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <command>rndc signing -nsec3param</command> sets
+ the NSEC3 parameters for a zone. This is the
+ only supported mechanism for using NSEC3 with
+ <command>inline-signing</command> zones.
+ Parameters are specified in the same format as
+ an NSEC3PARAM resource record: hash algorithm,
+ flags, iterations, and salt, in that order.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Currently, the only defined value for hash algorithm
+ is <literal>1</literal>, representing SHA-1.
+ The <option>flags</option> may be set to
+ <literal>0</literal> or <literal>1</literal>,
+ depending on whether you wish to set the opt-out
+ bit in the NSEC3 chain. <option>iterations</option>
+ defines the number of additional times to apply
+ the algorithm when generating an NSEC3 hash. The
+ <option>salt</option> is a string of data expressed
+ in hexadecimal, or a hyphen (`-') if no salt is
+ to be used.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ So, for example, to create an NSEC3 chain using
+ the SHA-1 hash algorithm, no opt-out flag,
+ 10 iterations, and a salt value of "FFFF", use:
+ <command>rndc signing -nsec3param 1 0 10 FFFF <replaceable>zone</replaceable></command>.
+ To set the opt-out flag, 15 iterations, and no
+ salt, use:
+ <command>rndc signing -nsec3param 1 1 15 - <replaceable>zone</replaceable></command>.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <command>rndc signing -nsec3param none</command>
+ removes an existing NSEC3 chain and replaces it
+ with NSEC.
