NAME
psktool - GnuTLS PSK tool
SYNOPSIS
psktool [-flags] [-flag [value]] [--option-name[[=| ]value]]
All arguments must be options.
DESCRIPTION
Program that generates random keys for use with TLS-PSK. The keys are stored in hexadecimal format in a
key file.
OPTIONS
-d number, --debug=number Enable debugging. This option takes an integer number as its argument. The
value of number is constrained to being:
in the range 0 through 9999
Specifies the debug level.
-s number, --keysize=number Specify the key size in bytes (default is 32-bytes or 256-bits). This option
takes an integer number as its argument. The value of number is constrained to being:
in the range 0 through 512
-u string, --username=string Specify the username to use.
-p string, --pskfile=string Specify a pre-shared key file.
This option will specify the pre-shared key file to store the generated keys.
--passwd This is an alias for the --pskfile option.

-h, --help Display usage information and exit.
-!, --more-help Pass the extended usage information through a pager.
-v [{v|c|n --version [{v|c|n}]}] Output version of program and exit. The default mode is `v', a simple
version. The `c' mode will print copyright information and `n' will print the full copyright notice.
EXAMPLES
To add a user 'psk_identity' in keys.psk for use with GnuTLS run:
$ ./psktool -u psk_identity -p keys.psk
Generating a random key for user 'psk_identity'
Key stored to keys.psk
$ cat keys.psk
psk_identity:88f3824b3e5659f52d00e959bacab954b6540344
$
This command will create keys.psk if it does not exist and will add user 'psk_identity'.
EXIT STATUS
One of the following exit values will be returned:
0 (EXIT_SUCCESS) Successful program execution.
1 (EXIT_FAILURE) The operation failed or the command syntax was not valid.
70 (EX_SOFTWARE) libopts had an internal operational error. Please report it to autogen-
