36 This command has been deprecated.
37 The L<openssl-genpkey(1)> command should be used instead.
39 This command generates a DSA private key from a DSA parameter file
40 (which will be typically generated by the L<openssl-dsaparam(1)> command).
48 Print out a usage message.
50 =item B<-out> I<filename>
52 Output the key to the specified file. If this argument is not specified then
53 standard output is used.
55 =item B<-passout> I<arg>
57 The passphrase used for the output file.
58 See L<openssl(1)/Pass Phrase Options>.
60 =item B<-aes128>, B<-aes192>, B<-aes256>, B<-aria128>, B<-aria192>, B<-aria256>, B<-camellia128>, B<-camellia192>, B<-camellia256>, B<-des>, B<-des3>, B<-idea>
62 These options encrypt the private key with specified
63 cipher before outputting it. A pass phrase is prompted for.
64 If none of these options is specified no encryption is used.
68 Print extra details about the operations being performed.

76 The DSA parameter file to use. The parameters in this file determine
77 the size of the private key. DSA parameters can be generated and
78 examined using the L<openssl-dsaparam(1)> command.

86 DSA key generation is little more than random number generation so it is
87 much quicker that RSA key generation for example.
