DNSSEC-Tools supports a set of options common to all the tools in the suite. These options may be set from DNSSEC-Tools defaults, values set in the dnssec-tools.conf configuration file, in a keyrec file, from command-specific options, from command-line options, or from any combination of the five. In order to enforce a common sequence of option interpretation, all DNSSEC-Tools should use the tooloptions.pm routines to initialize their options.

tooloptions.pm routines combine data from the aforementioned option sources into a hash table. The hash table is returned to the caller, which will then use the options as needed.

The command-line options are saved between calls, so a command may call tooloptions.pm routines multiple times and still have the command-line options included in the final hash table. This is useful for examining multiple keyrecs in a single command. Inclusion of command-line options may be suspended and restored using the opts_suspend() and opts_restore() calls. Options may be discarded entirely by calling opts_drop(); once dropped, command-line options may never be restored. Suspension, restoration, and dropping of command-line options are only effective after the initial tooloptions.pm call.

The options sources are combined in this order:

1. DNSSEC-Tools Defaults
The DNSSEC-Tools defaults, as defined in conf.pm are put into a hash table, with the option names as the hash key.
2. DNSSEC-Tools Configuration File
The system-wide DNSSEC-Tools configuration file is read and these option values are added to the option collection. Again, the option names are used as the hash key.
3. keyrec File
If a keyrec file was specified, then the keyrec named by keyrec_name will be retrieved. The keyrec's fields are added to the hash table. Any field whose keyword matches an existing hash key will override any existing values.
4. Command-Specific Options
Options specific to the invoking commands may be specified in @specopts. This array is parsed by Getoptions() from the Getopt::Long Perl module. These options are folded into the hash table; possibly overriding existing hash values. The options given in @specopts must be in the format required by Getoptions().
5. Command-Line Options
The command-line options are parsed using Getoptions() from the Getopt::Long Perl module. These options are folded into the hash table; again, possibly overriding existing hash values. The options given in @specopts must be in the format required by Getoptions().

A reference to the hash table created in these steps is returned to the caller.

dnssec-tools.conf has these entries:

ksklength      2048
zsklength      1024

example.keyrec has this entry:

key         "Kexample.com.+005+12345"
        zsklength        "2048"

zonesigner is executed with this command line:

zonesigner -zsklength 4096 -wait 3600 ...  example.com

opts_zonekr("example.keyrec","Kexample.com.+005+12345",("wait=i")) will read each option source in turn, ending up with:
ksklength 1024
zsklength 4096
wait 600

This routine parses a command line looking for the arguments in the standard set of options and an optional set of options specified by the caller. If the first argument is true, the program-wide @ARGV is restored after parsing. If the caller provides other arguments, they're added as additional options. The parsed options are returned to the caller in a hash.
The opts_cmdopts() call builds an option hash from the system configuration file, a keyrec, and a set of command-specific options. A reference to this option hash is returned to the caller.

If $keyrec_file is given as an empty string, then no keyrec file will be consulted. In this case, it is assumed that $keyrec_name will be left out altogether.

If a non-existent $keyrec_file is given and opts_createkrf() has been called, then the named keyrec file will be created. opts_createkrf() must be called for each keyrec file that must be created, as the tooloptions keyrec-creation state is reset after tooloptions() has completed.

This routine returns a reference to options gathered from the basic option sources and from the zone keyrec named by $keyrec_name, which is found in $keyrec_file. The keyrec fields from the zone's KSK and ZSK are folded in as well, but the key's keyrec_ fields are excluded. This call ensures that the named keyrec is a zone keyrec; if it isn't, undef is returned.

The keyrec file is read with keyrec_read(). To ensure it is properly read, keyrec_close() is called first.

The $keyrec_file argument specifies a keyrec file that will be consulted. The keyrec named by the $keyrec_name argument will be loaded. If a keyrec file is found and opts_createkrf() has been previously called, then the keyrec file will be created if it doesn't exist.

If $keyrec_file is given as "", then the command-line options are searched for a -krfile option. If $keyrec_name is given as "", then the name is taken from $ARGV[0].

The @specopts array contains command-specific arguments; the arguments must be in the format prescribed by the Getopt::Long Perl module.

If the command line contains the -dtconfig option, then opts_zonekr() sets that option to be the configuration file. It then parses that file and uses it as the source for configuration file data.

This routine saves a copy of the command-specific options given in @csopts. This collection of options is added to the @csopts array that may be passed to tooloptions.pm routines.
Force creation of an empty keyrec file if the specified file does not exist. This may happen on calls to opts_zonekr().
Suspend inclusion of the command-line options in building the final hash table of responses.
Restore inclusion of the command-line options in building the final hash table of responses.
Discard the command-line options. They will no longer be available for inclusion in building the final hash table of responses for this execution of the command.
Reset an internal flag so that the command-line arguments may be re-examined. This is usually only useful if the arguments have been modified by the calling program itself.
Set an internal flag so that command arguments may be specified with a GUI. GUI usage requires that Getopt::GUI::Long is available. If it isn't, then Getopt::Long will be used.
Set an internal flag so that the GUI will not be used for specifying command arguments.
Set an internal flag indicating what should happen if an invalid option is specified on the command line. If exitflag is non-zero, then the process will exit on an invalid option; if it is zero, then the process will not exit. The default action is to report an error without exiting.

The old exit action is returned.
