+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This command processes RSA keys. They can be converted between
+various forms and their components printed out. B<Note> this command uses the
+traditional SSLeay compatible format for private key encryption: newer
+applications should use the more secure PKCS#8 format using the
+L<openssl-pkcs8(1)> command.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<-help>
+
+Print out a usage message.
+
+
+=item B<-inform> B<DER>|B<PEM>, B<-outform> B<DER>|B<PEM>
+
+The input and formats; the default is B<PEM>.
+See L<openssl(1)/Format Options> for details.
+
+=item B<-inform> B<DER>|B<PEM>
+
+The data is a PKCS#1 B<RSAPrivateKey> or B<SubjectPublicKey> object.
+On input, PKCS#8 format private keys are also accepted.
+
+=item B<-in> I<filename>
+
+This specifies the input filename to read a key from or standard input if this
+option is not specified. If the key is encrypted a pass phrase will be
+prompted for.
+
+=item B<-passin> I<arg>, B<-passout> I<arg>
+
+The password source for the input and output file.
+For more information about the format of B<arg>
+see L<openssl(1)/Pass Phrase Options>.
+
+=item B<-out> I<filename>
+
+This specifies the output filename to write a key to or standard output if this
+option is not specified. If any encryption options are set then a pass phrase
+will be prompted for. The output filename should B<not> be the same as the input
+filename.
+
+=item B<-aes128>, B<-aes192>, B<-aes256>, B<-aria128>, B<-aria192>, B<-aria256>, B<-camellia128>, B<-camellia192>, B<-camellia256>, B<-des>, B<-des3>, B<-idea>
+
+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 this command can be used to remove the pass phrase from a key
+by not giving any encryption option is given, or to add or change the pass
+phrase by setting them.
+These options can only be used with PEM format output files.
+
+=item B<-text>
+
+Prints out the various public or private key components in
+plain text in addition to the encoded version.
+
+=item B<-noout>
+
+This option prevents output of the encoded version of the key.
+
+=item B<-modulus>
+
+This option prints out the value of the modulus of the key.
+
+=item B<-check>
+
+This option checks the consistency of an RSA private key.
+
+=item B<-pubin>
+
+By default a private key is read from the input file: with this
+option a public key is read instead.
+
+=item B<-pubout>
+
+By default a private key is output: with this option a public
+key will be output instead. This option is automatically set if
+the input is a public key.
+
+=item B<-RSAPublicKey_in>, B<-RSAPublicKey_out>
+
+Like B<-pubin> and B<-pubout> except B<RSAPublicKey> format is used instead.

+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+To remove the pass phrase on an RSA private key:
+
+ openssl rsa -in key.pem -out keyout.pem
+
+To encrypt a private key using triple DES:
+
+ openssl rsa -in key.pem -des3 -out keyout.pem
+
+To convert a private key from PEM to DER format:
+
+ openssl rsa -in key.pem -outform DER -out keyout.der
+
+To print out the components of a private key to standard output:
+
+ openssl rsa -in key.pem -text -noout
+
+To just output the public part of a private key:
+
+ openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
+
+Output the public part of a private key in B<RSAPublicKey> format:
+
+ openssl rsa -in key.pem -RSAPublicKey_out -out pubkey.pem
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+There should be an option that automatically handles F<.key> files,
+without having to manually edit them.
