The B option uses an ASN.1 DER encoded +form compatible with RFC 3279 EcpkParameters. The PEM form is the default +format: it consists of the B format base64 encoded with additional +header and footer lines. + +=item B<-outform DER|PEM> + +This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning as the +B<-inform> option. + +=item B<-in filename> + +This specifies the input filename to read parameters from or standard input if +this option is not specified. + +=item B<-out filename> + +This specifies the output filename parameters to. Standard output is used +if this option is not present. The output filename should B be the same +as the input filename. + +=item B<-noout> + +This option inhibits the output of the encoded version of the parameters. + +=item B<-text> + +This option prints out the EC parameters in human readable form. + +=item B<-C> + +This option converts the EC parameters into C code. The parameters can then +be loaded by calling the B function. + +=item B<-check> + +Validate the elliptic curve parameters. + +=item B<-name arg> + +Use the EC parameters with the specified 'short' name. Use B<-list_curves> +to get a list of all currently implemented EC parameters. + +=item B<-list_curves> + +If this options is specified B will print out a list of all +currently implemented EC parameters names and exit. + +=item B<-conv_form> + +This specifies how the points on the elliptic curve are converted +into octet strings. Possible values are: B (the default +value), B and B. For more information regarding +the point conversion forms please read the X9.62 standard. +B Due to patent issues the B option is disabled +by default for binary curves and can be enabled by defining +the preprocessor macro B at compile time. + +=item B<-param_enc arg> + +This specifies how the elliptic curve parameters are encoded. +Possible value are: B, i.e. the ec parameters are +specified by a OID, or B where the ec parameters are +explicitly given (see RFC 3279 for the definition of the +EC parameters structures). The default value is B. +B the B alternative ,as specified in RFC 3279, +is currently not implemented in OpenSSL. + +=item B<-no_seed> + +This option inhibits that the 'seed' for the parameter generation +is included in the ECParameters structure (see RFC 3279). + +=item B<-genkey> + +This option will generate a EC private key using the specified parameters. + +=item B<-rand file(s)> + +a file or files containing random data used to seed the random number +generator, or an EGD socket (see L). +Multiple files can be specified separated by a OS-dependent character. +The separator is B<;> for MS-Windows, B<,> for OpenVMS, and B<:> for +all others. + +=item B<-engine id> + +specifying an engine (by it's unique B string) will cause B +to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine, +thus initialising it if needed.
