+openssl-ecparam,
ecparam - EC parameter manipulation and generation
=head1 SYNOPSIS
[B<-text>]
[B<-C>]
[B<-check>]
+[B<-check_named>]
[B<-name arg>]
[B<-list_curves>]
[B<-conv_form arg>]
Validate the elliptic curve parameters.
+=item B<-check_named>
+
+Validate the elliptic name curve parameters by checking if the curve parameters
+match any built-in curves.
+
=item B<-name arg>
Use the EC parameters with the specified 'short' name. Use B<-list_curves>
=item B<-conv_form>
This specifies how the points on the elliptic curve are converted
-into octet strings. Possible values are: B<compressed> (the default
-value), B<uncompressed> and B<hybrid>. For more information regarding
+into octet strings. Possible values are: B<compressed>, B<uncompressed> (the
+default value) and B<hybrid>. For more information regarding
the point conversion forms please read the X9.62 standard.
B<Note> Due to patent issues the B<compressed> option is disabled
by default for binary curves and can be enabled by defining
