These options encrypt the private key with the specified
cipher before outputting it. A pass phrase is prompted for.
If none of these options is specified the key is written in plain text. This
-means that using the B<dsa> utility to read in an encrypted key with no
-encryption option can be used to remove the pass phrase from a key, or by
-setting the encryption options it can be use to add or change the pass phrase.
+means that this command can be used to remove the pass phrase from a key

These options can only be used with PEM format output files.

+Specifying an engine (by its unique I<id> string) will cause L<openssl-dsa(1)>
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.
