=head1 DESCRIPTION
This option specifies a PKCS#5 v1.5 or PKCS#12 algorithm to use. A complete
list of possible algorithms is included below.
+=item B<-engine id>
+
+specifying an engine (by its unique B<id> string) will cause B<pkcs8>
+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.
