-=head1 NAME
-
-gendh - DH parameter generation
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-B<openssl gendh>
-[B<-out filename>]
-[B<-2>]
-[B<-5>]
-[B<-rand file(s)>]
-[numbits]
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-This command is used to generate DH parameter files.
-
-=head1 OPTIONS
-
-=over 4
-
-=item B<-out filename>
-
-This specifies the output filename parameters to. Standard output is used
-if this option is not present. The output format is a base64 encoded form of
-a PKCS#5 DHParameter structure. 
-
-=item B<-2>, B<-5>
-
-The generator to use, either 2 or 5. 2 is the default.
-
-=item B<-rand file(s)>
-
-a file or files containing random data used to seed the random number
-generator. Multiple files can be specified separated by a OS-dependent
-character.  For MS-Windows, the separator is B<;>.  For OpenVMS, it's
-B<,>.  For all others, it's B<:>.
-
-=item B<numbits>
-
-this option specifies that a parameter set should be generated of size
-B<numbits>. It must be the last option. If not present then a value of 512
-is used.
-
-=back
-
-=head1 NOTES
-
-PEM format DH parameters use the header and footer lines:
-
- -----BEGIN DH PARAMETERS-----
- -----END DH PARAMETERS-----
-
-DH parameter generation is a slow process and as a result the same set of
-DH parameters is often reused.
-
-OpenSSL currently uses PKCS#3 DH not the more recent X9.42 DH.
-
-This program creates DH parameters only, not DH keys.
-
-=head1 BUGS
-
-The program is badly named. The programs B<gendsa> and B<genrsa> generate
-actual keys and not parameters.
-
-There should be a way to generate and manipulate DH keys.
