+tsig-keygen - TSIG key generation tool
+--------------------------------------
+
+Synopsis
+~~~~~~~~
+:program:`tsig-keygen` [**-a** algorithm] [**-h**] [name]
+
+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``tsig-keygen`` is an utility that generates keys for use in TSIG signing.
+The resulting keys can be used, for example, to secure dynamic DNS updates
+to a zone, or for the ``rndc`` command channel.
+
+A domain name can be specified on the command line to be used as the name
+of the generated key. If no name is specified, the default is ``tsig-key``.
+
+Options
+~~~~~~~
+
+``-a algorithm``
+ This option specifies the algorithm to use for the TSIG key. Available
+ choices are: hmac-md5, hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384,
+ and hmac-sha512. The default is hmac-sha256. Options are
+ case-insensitive, and the "hmac-" prefix may be omitted.
+
+``-h``
+ This option prints a short summary of options and arguments.
