    <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.

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <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.

            The number of additional times the hash should be performed.
