+       --output-version NUMBER
+
+               Write backward-compatible sites file output,
+               targeting a particular sites format.  Values of
+               NUMBER that are understood are:
+                   1   The original format, pre signing key

+                   2   Signing key algorithm agility and negotiation.
+               If NUMBER is higher than make-secnet-sites supports,
+               it writes out what it can.
+
+       --pubkeys-install
+
+               Specifies that public keys are to be installed in the
+               live pubkeys area (and not hardcoded in secnet conf
+               files).  With this option, generated site configs
+               refer to keys in PUBKEYS; also, the generated secnet
+               configuration enables live peer public update.
+
+       --pubkeys-dir PUBKEYS
+
+               Specifies the live pubkeys area pathname.
+               The default is /var/lib/secnet/pubkeys.
