This specifies the input format. The B<DER> option uses an ASN.1 DER encoded
form compatible with RFC 3279 EcpkParameters. The PEM form is the default

This specifies how the elliptic curve parameters are encoded.

OpenSSL is currently not able to generate new groups and therefore
-B<ecparam> can only create EC parameters from known (named) curves.
