<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p>This command is used to manipulate or generate DSA parameter files.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="options">OPTIONS</a></h1>
<dl>
<dt><strong><a name="help" class="item"><strong>-help</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Print out a usage message.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="inform_der_pem" class="item"><strong>-inform DER|PEM</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This specifies the input format. The <strong>DER</strong> option uses an ASN1 DER encoded
form compatible with <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2459.txt" class="rfc">RFC2459</a> (PKIX) DSS-Parms that is a SEQUENCE consisting
of p, q and g respectively. The PEM form is the default format: it consists
of the <strong>DER</strong> format base64 encoded with additional header and footer lines.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="outform_der_pem" class="item"><strong>-outform DER|PEM</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning and default
as the <strong>-inform</strong> option.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="in_filename" class="item"><strong>-in filename</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This specifies the input filename to read parameters from or standard input if
this option is not specified. If the <strong>numbits</strong> parameter is included then
this option will be ignored.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="out_filename" class="item"><strong>-out filename</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This specifies the output filename parameters to. Standard output is used
if this option is not present. The output filename should <strong>not</strong> be the same
as the input filename.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="noout" class="item"><strong>-noout</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This option inhibits the output of the encoded version of the parameters.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="text" class="item"><strong>-text</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This option prints out the DSA parameters in human readable form.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="c" class="item"><strong>-C</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This option converts the parameters into C code. The parameters can then
be loaded by calling the <code>get_dsaXXX()</code> function.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="genkey" class="item"><strong>-genkey</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This option will generate a DSA either using the specified or generated
parameters.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="rand_file" class="item"><strong>-rand file...</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>A file or files containing random data used to seed the random number
generator.
Multiple files can be specified separated by an OS-dependent character.
The separator is <strong>;</strong> for MS-Windows, <strong>,</strong> for OpenVMS, and <strong>:</strong> for
all others.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="writerand_file" class="item">[<strong>-writerand file</strong>]</a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Writes random data to the specified <em>file</em> upon exit.
This can be used with a subsequent <strong>-rand</strong> flag.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="numbits" class="item"><strong>numbits</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This option specifies that a parameter set should be generated of size
<strong>numbits</strong>. It must be the last option. If this option is included then
the input file (if any) is ignored.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="engine_id" class="item"><strong>-engine id</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Specifying an engine (by its unique <strong>id</strong> string) will cause <strong>dsaparam</strong>
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.</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<hr />
<h1><a name="notes">NOTES</a></h1>
<p>PEM format DSA parameters use the header and footer lines:</p>
<pre>
-----BEGIN DSA PARAMETERS-----
-----END DSA PARAMETERS-----</pre>
<p>DSA parameter generation is a slow process and as a result the same set of
DSA parameters is often used to generate several distinct keys.</p>
