-=head1 NAME
-
-gendsa - generate a DSA private key from a set of parameters
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-B<openssl> B<gendsa>
-[B<-out filename>]
-[B<-des>]
-[B<-des3>]
-[B<-idea>]
-[B<-rand file(s)>]
-[B<paramfile>]
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-The B<gendsa> command generates a DSA private key from a DSA parameter file
-(which will be typically generated by the B<openssl dsaparam> command).
-
-=head1 OPTIONS
-
-=over 4
-
-=item B<-des|-des3|-idea>
-
-These options encrypt the private key with the DES, triple DES, or the
-IDEA ciphers respectively before outputting it. A pass phrase is prompted for.
-If none of these options is specified no encryption is used.
-
-=item B<-rand file(s)>
-
-a file or files containing random data used to seed the random number
-generator, or an EGD socket (see L<RAND_egd(3)|RAND_egd(3)>).
-Multiple files can be specified separated by a OS-dependent character.
-The separator is B<;> for MS-Windows, B<,> for OpenVSM, and B<:> for
-all others.
-
-=item B<paramfile>
-
-This option specifies the DSA parameter file to use. The parameters in this
-file determine the size of the private key. DSA parameters can be generated
-and examined using the B<openssl dsaparam> command.

-
-=head1 NOTES
-
-DSA key generation is little more than random number generation so it is
-much quicker that RSA key generation for example.
