166.IX Item "-inform DER|PEM"
158This specifies the input format \s-1DER\s0 or \s-1PEM\s0.
167This specifies the input format \s-1DER\s0 or \s-1PEM.\s0
168.IP "\fB\-outform DER|PEM\fR" 4
169.IX Item "-outform DER|PEM"
170This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning as the
171\&\fB\-inform\fR option.
172.IP "\fB\-in filename\fR" 4
173.IX Item "-in filename"
174This specifies the input filename to read a key from or standard input if this
175option is not specified. If the key is encrypted a pass phrase will be
176prompted for.

181.IP "\fB\-out filename\fR" 4
182.IX Item "-out filename"
183This specifies the output filename to write a key to or standard output if this
184option is not specified. If any encryption options are set then a pass phrase
185will be prompted for. The output filename should \fBnot\fR be the same as the input
186filename.

193These options encrypt the private key with the supplied cipher. Any algorithm
194name accepted by \fIEVP_get_cipherbyname()\fR is acceptable such as \fBdes3\fR.
195.IP "\fB\-text\fR" 4

197prints out the various public or private key components in
198plain text in addition to the encoded version.
199.IP "\fB\-text_pub\fR" 4

201print out only public key components even if a private key is being processed.
202.IP "\fB\-noout\fR" 4
203.IX Item "-noout"
204do not output the encoded version of the key.
205.IP "\fB\-pubin\fR" 4

207by default a private key is read from the input file: with this
208option a public key is read instead.
209.IP "\fB\-pubout\fR" 4
210.IX Item "-pubout"
211by default a private key is output: with this option a public
212key will be output instead. This option is automatically set if
213the input is a public key.
214.IP "\fB\-engine id\fR" 4
215.IX Item "-engine id"
216specifying an engine (by its unique \fBid\fR string) will cause \fBpkey\fR
217to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
218thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
219for all available algorithms.
