    <para>
      <command>nsec3hash</command> 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.
    </para>

    <para>
      If this command is invoked as <command>nsec3hash -r</command>,
      it takes arguments in an order matching the first four fields
      of an NSEC3 record, followed by the domain name: algorithm, flags,
      iterations, salt, domain.  This makes it convenient to copy and
      paste a portion of an NSEC3 or NSEC3PARAM record into a command
      line to confirm the correctness of an NSEC3 hash.
    </para>

        <term>salt</term>
        <listitem>
          <para>
            The salt provided to the hash algorithm.

        <term>algorithm</term>
        <listitem>
          <para>
            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.

        <listitem>
          <para>
            Provided for compatibility with NSEC3 record presentation
            format, but ignored since the flags do not affect the hash.

            The number of additional times the hash should be performed.
