NAME

       dropbearconvert - convert between Dropbear and OpenSSH private key formats

SYNOPSIS

       dropbearconvert input_type output_type input_file output_file

DESCRIPTION

       Dropbear and OpenSSH SSH implementations have different private key formats.  dropbearconvert can convert
       between the two.

       Dropbear  uses the same SSH public key format as OpenSSH, it can be extracted from a private key by using
       dropbearkey -y

       Encrypted private keys are not supported, use ssh-keygen(1) to decrypt them first.
