.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "OPENSSL-DSAPARAM 1ossl" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
openssl-dsaparam - DSA parameter manipulation and generation Header "SYNOPSIS" \fBopenssl dsaparam [-help] [-inform \s-1DER\s0|\s-1PEM\s0] [-outform \s-1DER\s0|\s-1PEM\s0] [-in filename] [-out filename] [-noout] [-text] [-genkey] [-verbose] [-rand files] [-writerand file] [-engine id] [-provider name] [-provider-path path] [-propquery propq] [numbits] Header "DESCRIPTION" This command is used to manipulate or generate \s-1DSA\s0 parameter files.

\s-1DSA\s0 parameter generation can be a slow process and as a result the same set of \s-1DSA\s0 parameters is often used to generate several distinct keys.

Header "OPTIONS" Item "-help" Print out a usage message. Item "-inform DER|PEM" The \s-1DSA\s0 parameters input format; unspecified by default. See openssl-format-options\|(1) for details. Item "-outform DER|PEM" The \s-1DSA\s0 parameters output format; the default is \s-1PEM\s0. See openssl-format-options\|(1) for details. .Sp Parameters are a sequence of \s-1ASN.1 INTEGER\s0s: p, q, and g. This is compatible with \s-1RFC 2459\s0 DSS-Parms structure. Item "-in filename" This specifies the input filename to read parameters from or standard input if this option is not specified. If the numbits parameter is included then this option will be ignored. Item "-out filename" This specifies the output filename parameters to. Standard output is used if this option is not present. The output filename should not be the same as the input filename. Item "-noout" This option inhibits the output of the encoded version of the parameters. Item "-text" This option prints out the \s-1DSA\s0 parameters in human readable form. Item "-genkey" This option will generate a \s-1DSA\s0 either using the specified or generated parameters. Item "-verbose" Print extra details about the operations being performed. Item "-rand files, -writerand file" See \*(L"Random State Options\*(R" in openssl\|(1) for details. Item "-engine id" See \*(L"Engine Options\*(R" in openssl\|(1). This option is deprecated. Item "numbits" This option specifies that a parameter set should be generated of size \fInumbits. It must be the last option. If this option is included then the input file (if any) is ignored. Item "-provider name"

0

Item "-provider-path path" Item "-propquery propq"

See \*(L"Provider Options\*(R" in openssl\|(1), provider\|(7), and property\|(7).

The -C option was removed in OpenSSL 3.0.
