.. \*(C` and \*(C' are quotes in nroff, nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "OPENSSL-DSAPARAM 1" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
openssl-dsaparam - DSA parameter manipulation and generation Header "SYNOPSIS" \fBopenssl dsaparam [-help] [-inform DER|PEM] [-outform DER|PEM] [-in filename] [-out filename] [-noout] [-text] [-genkey] [-verbose] [-rand files] [-writerand file] [-engine id] [-provider name] [-provider-path path] [-propquery propq] [numbits] Header "DESCRIPTION" This command is used to manipulate or generate DSA parameter files.

DSA parameter generation can be a slow process and as a result the same set of DSA parameters is often used to generate several distinct keys.

Header "OPTIONS" Item "-help" Print out a usage message. Item "-inform DER|PEM" The DSA parameters input format; unspecified by default. See openssl-format-options\|(1) for details. Item "-outform DER|PEM" The DSA parameters output format; the default is PEM. See openssl-format-options\|(1) for details. .Sp Parameters are a sequence of ASN.1 INTEGERs: p, q, and g. This is compatible with RFC 2459 DSS-Parms structure. Item "-in filename" This specifies the input filename to read parameters from or standard input if this option is not specified. If the numbits parameter is included then this option will be ignored. Item "-out filename" This specifies the output filename parameters to. Standard output is used if this option is not present. The output filename should not be the same as the input filename. Item "-noout" This option inhibits the output of the encoded version of the parameters. Item "-text" This option prints out the DSA parameters in human readable form. Item "-genkey" This option will generate a DSA either using the specified or generated parameters. Item "-verbose" Print extra details about the operations being performed. Item "-rand files, -writerand file" See "Random State Options" in openssl\|(1) for details. Item "-engine id" See "Engine Options" in openssl\|(1). This option is deprecated. Item "numbits" This option specifies that a parameter set should be generated of size \fInumbits. It must be the last option. If this option is included then the input file (if any) is ignored. Item "-provider name"

0

Item "-provider-path path" Item "-propquery propq"

See "Provider Options" in openssl\|(1), provider\|(7), and property\|(7).

The -C option was removed in OpenSSL 3.0.
