 Specifies the security key flags to use when enrolling a security key-hosted
 key.
+Flags may be specified by name or directly as a hexadecimal value.
+Only one named flag is supported at present:
+.Cm no-touch-required ,
+which indicates that the generated private key should not require touch
+events (user presence) when making signatures.
+Note that
+.Xr sshd 8
