.SH "DESCRIPTION"
curvedns\-keygen(1) is used to generate a keypair for use with curvedns(8)\. This command can be run in two different forms\.
.P
In the first form \fBcurvedns\-keygen\fR is run without parameters and prints the keys to standard output\. An example output looks as follows:
.P
In the second form, \fBcurvedns\-keygen\fR writes the secret key to a file that is suitable for use with the daemontools service manager in a subdirectory of \fIpath\-of\-CurveDNS\-installation\fR\. It formats the output to already include the \fIauthoritative\-name\-server\-name\fR combined with the DNSCurve public key suitable for publication in the NS set of a DNS zone\.
.P
\fBNote:\fR On Debian users normally don't need to run this command as a key is automatically generated during package installation\. See /usr/share/doc/curvedns/README\.Debian for more information\.
