DESCRIPTION
ssh-add adds RSA or DSA identities to the authentication agent,
ssh-agent(1). When run without arguments, it adds the files
- ~/.ssh/id_rsa, ~/.ssh/id_dsa and ~/.ssh/identity. After loading a pri-
- vate key, ssh-add will try to load corresponding certificate information
- from the filename obtained by appending -cert.pub to the name of the pri-
- vate key file. Alternative file names can be given on the command line.

If any file requires a passphrase, ssh-add asks for the passphrase from
the user. The passphrase is read from the user's tty. ssh-add retries
the last passphrase if multiple identity files are given.
