SYNOPSIS

gnunet-ecc [-g COUNT | --generate-keys=COUNT] [-p | --print-public-key] [-P | --print-private-key] [-x | --print-hex] [-c FILENAME | --config=FILENAME] [-h | --help] [-L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=LOGLEVEL] [-v | --version] ⟨

FILENAME ⟩

DESCRIPTION

gnunet-ecc can be used to create an ECC private key and to print the corresponding public key. You must specify a filename containing an ECC private key in GNUnet format as an argument. If the file does not exist, gnunet-ecc will create a key. This may then take a while. If the option -p is given, the corresponding public key will be printed to the console.

-g COUNT | --generate-keys=COUNT

Create COUNT public-private key pairs and write them to FILENAME. Used for creating a file for testing.

-p | --print-public-key

Print the corresponding public key to stdout. This is the value used for PKEY records in GNS.

-P | --print-private-key

Print the corresponding private key to stdout. This is the value used for PKEY records in GNS.

-x | --print-hex

Print the corresponding public key to stdout in HEX format. Useful for comparing to Ed25519 keys in X.509 tools.

-c FILENAME | --config=FILENAME

Use the configuration file FILENAME.

-h | --help

Print short help on options.

-L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=LOGLEVEL

Use LOGLEVEL for logging. Valid values are DEBUG, INFO, WARNING and ERROR.

-v | --version

Print GNUnet version number.
