NAME

       gnunet-ecc — manipulate GNUnet ECC key files

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.
