+.It Fl H Ar hostkey_file
+Specifies a known hosts file to lookup hostkeys when using destination-
+constained keys via the

+flag.
+This option may be specified multiple times to allow multiple files to be

+.It Fl h Ar destination_constraint
+When adding keys, constrain them to be usable only through specific hosts or to
+specific destinations.
+.Pp
+Destination constraints of the form
+.Sq [user@]dest-hostname
+permit use of the key only from the origin host (the one running
+.Xr ssh-agent 1 )
+to the listed destination host, with optional user name.
+.Pp
+Constraints of the form
+.Sq src-hostname>[user@]dst-hostname
+allow a key available on a forwarded
+.Xr ssh-agent 1
+to be used through a particular host (as specified by
+.Sq src-hostname )
+to authenticate to a further host,
+specified by
+.Sq dst-hostname .
+.Pp
+Multiple destination constraints may be added when loading keys.
+When attempting authentication with a key that has destination constraints,
+the whole connection path, including
+.Xr ssh-agent 1
+forwarding, is tested against those constraints and each
+hop must be permitted for the attempt to succeed.
+For example, if key is forwarded to a remote host,
+.Sq host-b ,
+and is attempting authentication to another host,
+.Sq host-c ,
+then the operation will be successful only if
+.Sq host-b
+was permitted from the origin host and the subsequent
+.Sq host-b>host-c
+hop is also permitted by destination constraints.
+.Pp
+Hosts are identified by their host keys, and are looked up from known hosts
+files by
+.Nm .
+Wildcards patterns may be used for hostnames and certificate host
+keys are supported.
+By default, keys added by
+.Nm
+are not destination constrained.
+.Pp
+Destination constraints were added in OpenSSH release 8.9.
+Support in both the remote SSH client and server is required when using
+destination-constrained keys over a forwarded
+.Xr ssh-agent 1
+channel.
+.Pp
+It is also important to note that destination constraints can only be
+enforced by
+.Xr ssh-agent 1
+when a key is used, or when it is forwarded by a
+.Sy cooperating
+.Xr ssh 1 .
+Specifically, it does not prevent an attacker with access to a remote
+.Ev SSH_AUTH_SOCK
+from forwarding it again and using it on a different host (but only to
+a permitted destination).
