24
25This command processes public key algorithm parameters.
26They can be checked for correctness and their components printed out.

30=over 4
31
32=item B<-help>
33
34Print out a usage message.
35
36=item B<-in> I<filename>
37
38This specifies the input filename to read parameters from or standard input if
39this option is not specified.
40
41=item B<-out> I<filename>
42
43This specifies the output filename to write parameters to or standard output if
44this option is not specified.
45
46=item B<-text>
47
48Prints out the parameters in plain text in addition to the encoded version.
49
50=item B<-noout>
51
52Do not output the encoded version of the parameters.
53
54=item B<-check>
55
56This option checks the correctness of parameters.

72There are no B<-inform> or B<-outform> options for this command because only
73PEM format is supported because the key type is determined by the PEM headers.
