35<p>
36      <span><strong class="command">nsec3hash</strong></span> generates an NSEC3 hash based on
37      a set of NSEC3 parameters.  This can be used to check the validity
38      of NSEC3 records in a signed zone.

43<div class="variablelist"><dl>
44<dt><span class="term">salt</span></dt>
45<dd><p>
46            The salt provided to the hash algorithm.

48<dt><span class="term">algorithm</span></dt>
49<dd><p>
50            A number indicating the hash algorithm.  Currently the
51            only supported hash algorithm for NSEC3 is SHA-1, which is
52            indicated by the number 1; consequently "1" is the only
53            useful value for this argument.
54          </p></dd>

56<dd><p>
57            The number of additional times the hash should be performed.
58          </p></dd>

61            The domain name to be hashed.
