          <para>
            Use SHA-1 as the digest algorithm (the default is to use
            both SHA-1 and SHA-256).

        <listitem>
          <para>
            Select the digest algorithm. The value of
            <option>algorithm</option> must be one of SHA-1 (SHA1) or
            SHA-256 (SHA256). These values are case insensitive.

          <para>
            Keyset mode: in place of the keyfile name, the argument is
            the DNS domain name of a keyset file. Following options make sense
            only in this mode.
          </para>
        </listitem>

      <varlistentry>
        <term>-c <replaceable class="parameter">class</replaceable></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>
            Specifies the DNS class (default is IN), useful only
            in the keyset mode.
          </para>

      <varlistentry>
        <term>-d <replaceable class="parameter">directory</replaceable></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>
            Look for <filename>keyset</filename> files in
            <option>directory</option> as the directory, ignored when
            not in the keyset mode.

    <title>EXAMPLE</title>
    <para>
      To build the SHA-256 DS RR from the
      <userinput>Kexample.com.+003+26160</userinput>
      keyfile name, the following command would be issued:
    </para>
    <para><userinput>dnssec-dsfromkey -2 Kexample.com.+003+26160</userinput>
    </para>
    <para>
      The command would print something like:
    </para>
    <para><userinput>example.com. IN DS 26160 5 2 3A1EADA7A74B8D0BA86726B0C227AA85AB8BBD2B2004F41A868A54F0 C5EA0B94</userinput>
    </para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>FILES</title>
    <para>
      The keyfile can be designed by the key identification
      <filename>Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii</filename> or the full file name
      <filename>Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii.key</filename> as generated by
      <refentrytitle>dnssec-keygen</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum>.
    </para>
    <para>
      The keyset file name is built from the <option>directory</option>,
      the string <filename>keyset-</filename> and the
      <option>dnsname</option>.
    </para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>CAVEAT</title>
    <para>
      A keyfile error can give a "file not found" even if the file exists.
    </para>
