The <b>DER</b> option uses an ASN1 DER encoded form compatible with the PKCS#1 RSAPrivateKey or SubjectPublicKeyInfo format. The <b>PEM</b> form is the default format: it consists of the <b>DER</b> format base64 encoded with additional header and footer lines. On input PKCS#8 format private keys are also accepted.</p> </dd> <dt id="outform-DER-PEM"><b>-outform DER|PEM</b></dt> <dd> <p>This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning and default as the <b>-inform</b> option.</p> </dd> <dt id="in-filename"><b>-in filename</b></dt> <dd> <p>This specifies the input filename to read a key from or standard input if this option is not specified.
