  2. =head1 NAME
  3. pkeyparam - public key algorithm parameter processing tool
  4. =head1 SYNOPSIS
  5. B<openssl> B<pkeyparam>
  6. [B<-in filename>]
  7. [B<-out filename>]
  8. [B<-text>]
  9. [B<-noout>]
  10. [B<-engine id>]
  11. =head1 DESCRIPTION
  12. The B<pkey> command processes public or private keys. They can be converted
  13. between various forms and their components printed out.
  14. =head1 COMMAND OPTIONS
  15. =over 4
  16. =item B<-in filename>
  17. This specifies the input filename to read parameters from or standard input if
  18. this option is not specified.
  19. =item B<-out filename>
  20. This specifies the output filename to write parameters to or standard output if
  21. this option is not specified.
  22. =item B<-text>
  23. prints out the parameters in plain text in addition to the encoded version.
  24. =item B<-noout>
  25. do not output the encoded version of the parameters.
  26. =item B<-engine id>
  27. specifying an engine (by its unique B<id> string) will cause B<pkeyparam>
  28. to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
  29. thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
  30. for all available algorithms.
  31. =back
  32. =head1 EXAMPLE
  33. Print out text version of parameters:
  34. openssl pkeyparam -in param.pem -text
  35. =head1 NOTES
  36. There are no B<-inform> or B<-outform> options for this command because only
  37. PEM format is supported because the key type is determined by the PEM headers.
