<p>
      <span><strong class="command">nsec3hash</strong></span> 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.

<a name="id2543382"></a><h2>ARGUMENTS</h2>
<div class="variablelist"><dl>
<dt><span class="term">salt</span></dt>
<dd><p>
            The salt provided to the hash algorithm.
          </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">algorithm</span></dt>
<dd><p>
            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.
          </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">iterations</span></dt>
<dd><p>
            The number of additional times the hash should be performed.
          </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">domain</span></dt>
<dd><p>
            The domain name to be hashed.
          </p></dd>
