openssl-pkeyparam - public key algorithm parameter processing command

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<openssl> B<pkeyparam>
[B<-help>]
[B<-in> I<filename>]
[B<-out> I<filename>]
[B<-text>]
[B<-noout>]
[B<-check>]
{- $OpenSSL::safe::opt_engine_synopsis -}{- $OpenSSL::safe::opt_provider_synopsis -}

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This command processes public key algorithm parameters.
They can be checked for correctness and their components printed out.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<-help>

Print out a usage message.

=item B<-in> I<filename>

This specifies the input filename to read parameters from or standard input if
this option is not specified.

=item B<-out> I<filename>

This specifies the output filename to write parameters to or standard output if
this option is not specified.

=head1 EXAMPLES

Print out text version of parameters:

 openssl pkeyparam -in param.pem -text

=head1 NOTES

There are no B<-inform> or B<-outform> options for this command because only
PEM format is supported because the key type is determined by the PEM headers.
