36.SH "DESCRIPTION"
37.PP
38\fBnsec3hash\fR
39generates 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.
40.SH "ARGUMENTS"
41.PP
42salt
43.RS 4
44The salt provided to the hash algorithm.
45.RE
46.PP
47algorithm
48.RS 4
49A 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.
50.RE
51.PP
52iterations
53.RS 4
54The number of additional times the hash should be performed.
55.RE
56.PP
57domain
58.RS 4
59The domain name to be hashed.
