=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<openssl> B<pkeyparam>
[B<-help>]
[B<-in> I<filename>]
[B<-out> I<filename>]
[B<-text>]
[B<-noout>]
[B<-check>]
[B<-engine> I<id>]
[B<-provider> I<name>]

[B<-propquery> I<propq>]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This command processes public key algorithm parameters.
They can be checked for correctness and their components printed out.

=over 4

=item B<-help>

Print out a usage message.

=item B<-in> I<filename>

This specifies the input filename to read parameters from or standard input if

=item B<-out> I<filename>

This specifies the output filename to write parameters to or standard output if
this option is not specified.

=item B<-text>

Prints out the parameters in plain text in addition to the encoded version.

=item B<-noout>

Do not output the encoded version of the parameters.

=item B<-check>

There are no B<-inform> or B<-outform> options for this command because only
PEM format is supported because the key type is determined by the PEM headers.
