+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``dnssec-verify`` verifies that a zone is fully signed for each
+algorithm found in the DNSKEY RRset for the zone, and that the
+NSEC/NSEC3 chains are complete.
+
+Options
+~~~~~~~
+
+``-c class``
+   This option specifies the DNS class of the zone.
+
+``-E engine``
+   This option specifies the cryptographic hardware to use, when applicable.
+
+   When BIND 9 is built with OpenSSL, this needs to be set to the OpenSSL
+   engine identifier that drives the cryptographic accelerator or
+   hardware service module (usually ``pkcs11``). When BIND is
+   built with native PKCS#11 cryptography (``--enable-native-pkcs11``), it
+   defaults to the path of the PKCS#11 provider library specified via
+   ``--with-pkcs11``.
+
+``-I input-format``
+   This option sets the format of the input zone file. Possible formats are ``text``
+   (the default) and ``raw``. This option is primarily intended to be used
+   for dynamic signed zones, so that the dumped zone file in a non-text
+   format containing updates can be verified independently.
+   This option is not useful for non-dynamic zones.
+
+``-o origin``
+   This option indicates the zone origin. If not specified, the name of the zone file is
+   assumed to be the origin.
+
+``-v level``
+   This option sets the debugging level.
+
+``-V``
+   This option prints version information.
+
+``-q``
+   This option sets quiet mode, which suppresses output.  Without this option, when ``dnssec-verify``
+   is run it prints to standard output the number of keys in use, the
+   algorithms used to verify the zone was signed correctly, and other status
+   information.  With this option, all non-error output is suppressed, and only the exit
+   code indicates success.
+
+``-x``
+   This option verifies only that the DNSKEY RRset is signed with key-signing keys.
+   Without this flag, it is assumed that the DNSKEY RRset is signed
+   by all active keys. When this flag is set, it is not an error if
+   the DNSKEY RRset is not signed by zone-signing keys. This corresponds
+   to the ``-x`` option in ``dnssec-signzone``.
+
+``-z``
+   This option indicates that the KSK flag on the keys should be ignored when determining whether the zone is
+   correctly signed. Without this flag, it is assumed that there is
+   a non-revoked, self-signed DNSKEY with the KSK flag set for each
+   algorithm, and that RRsets other than DNSKEY RRset are signed with
+   a different DNSKEY without the KSK flag set.
+
+   With this flag set, BIND 9 only requires that for each algorithm, there
+   be at least one non-revoked, self-signed DNSKEY, regardless of
+   the KSK flag state, and that other RRsets be signed by a
+   non-revoked key for the same algorithm that includes the self-signed
+   key; the same key may be used for both purposes. This corresponds to
+   the ``-z`` option in ``dnssec-signzone``.
+
+``zonefile``
+   This option indicates the file containing the zone to be signed.
