NAME
       ntp-keygen - Create a NTP host key

SYNOPSIS
       ntp-keygen [-flag [value]]... [--opt-name [[=| ]value]]...

       All arguments must be options.

DESCRIPTION
       This  manual page documents, briefly, the ntp-keygen command.  If there
       is no new host key, look for an existing one.  If  one  is  not  found,
       create it.

OPTIONS
       -c scheme, --certificate=scheme
              certificate scheme.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -d, --debug-level
              Increase  output debug message level.  This option may appear an
              unlimited number of times.

              Increase the debugging message output level.

       -D string, --set-debug-level=string
              Set the output debug message level.  This option may  appear  an
              unlimited number of times.

              Set the output debugging level.  Can be supplied multiple times,
              but each overrides the previous value(s).

       -e, --id-key
              Write identity keys.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -G, --gq-params
              Generate GQ parameters and keys.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -g, --gq-keys
              update GQ keys.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -H, --host-key
              generate RSA host key.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -I, --iffkey
              generate IFF parameters.

              Just some descriptive text.

              The value of modulus is constrained to being:
                  in the range  256 through 2048

              Just some descriptive text.

       -P, --pvt-cert
              generate PC private certificate.

              Just some descriptive text.

              trusted certificate (TC scheme).

              Just some descriptive text.

       -V num, --mv-params=num
              generate <num> MV parameters.  This option takes an integer num-
              ber as its argument.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -v num, --mv-keys=num
              update <num> MV keys.  This option takes an integer number as
              its argument.

              Just some descriptive text.

       -?, --help
              Display usage information and exit.

       -!, --more-help
              Extended usage information passed thru pager.

       -> [rcfile], --save-opts[=rcfile]
              Save the option state to rcfile.  The default is the last con-
              figuration file listed in the OPTION PRESETS section, below.

       -< rcfile, --load-opts=rcfile, --no-load-opts
              Load options from rcfile.  The no-load-opts form will disable
              the loading of earlier RC/INI files.  --no-load-opts is handled
              early, out of order.

       -v [{v|c|n}], --version[={v|c|n}]
              Output version of program and exit.  The default mode is `v', a
              simple version.  The `c' mode will print copyright information
              and `n' will print the full copyright notice.

OPTION PRESETS
       Any option that is not marked as not presettable may be preset by load-
       ing values from configuration ("RC" or ".INI") file(s) and values from
       environment variables named:
         NTP_KEYGEN_<option-name> or NTP_KEYGEN
       The environmental presets take precedence (are processed later than)
       the configuration files.  The homerc files are "$HOME", and ".".  If
       any of these are directories, then the file .ntprc is searched for
       within those directories.
