The B option uses an ASN1 DER encoded +form compatible with RFC2459 (PKIX) DSS-Parms that is a SEQUENCE consisting +of p, q and g respectively. The PEM form is the default format: it consists +of the B format base64 encoded with additional header and footer lines. + +=item B<-outform DER|PEM> + +This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning as the +B<-inform> option. + +=item B<-in filename> + +This specifies the input filename to read parameters from or standard input if +this option is not specified. If the B parameter is included then +this option will be ignored. + +=item B<-out filename> + +This specifies the output filename parameters to. Standard output is used +if this option is not present. The output filename should B be the same +as the input filename. + +=item B<-noout> + +this option inhibits the output of the encoded version of the parameters. + +=item B<-text> + +this option prints out the DSA parameters in human readable form. + +=item B<-C> + +this option converts the parameters into C code. The parameters can then +be loaded by calling the B function. + +=item B<-genkey> + +this option will generate a DSA either using the specified or generated +parameters. + +=item B<-rand file(s)> + +a file or files containing random data used to seed the random number +generator, or an EGD socket (see L). +Multiple files can be specified separated by a OS-dependent character. +The separator is B<;> for MS-Windows, B<,> for OpenVMS, and B<:> for +all others. + +=item B + +this option specifies that a parameter set should be generated of size +B. It must be the last option. If this option is included then +the input file (if any) is ignored. + +=item B<-engine id> + +specifying an engine (by its unique B string) will cause B +to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine, +thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default +for all available algorithms. + +=back + +=head1 NOTES + +PEM format DSA parameters use the header and footer lines: + + -----BEGIN DSA PARAMETERS----- + -----END DSA PARAMETERS----- + +DSA parameter generation is a slow process and as a result the same set of +DSA parameters is often used to generate several distinct keys. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L, L, L, +L + +=cut
