.TP
.BI "\-i, \-\-in " file
Private key input file. If not given the key is read from \fISTDIN\fR.
.TP
.BI "\-t, \-\-type " type
Type of the input key. Either \fIrsa\fR or \fIecdsa\fR, defaults to \fIrsa\fR.
.TP
.BI "\-d, \-\-dn " distinguished-name

.SH "EXAMPLES"
.
Generate a certificate request for an RSA key, with a subjectAltName extension:
.PP
.EX
pki \-\-req \-\-in key.der \-\-dn "C=CH, O=strongSwan, CN=moon" \\
\-\-san moon@strongswan.org > req.der
.EE
.PP
Generate a certificate request for an ECDSA key and a different digest:
.PP
.EX
pki \-\-req \-\-in key.der \-\-type ecdsa \-\-digest sha256 \\
\-\-dn "C=CH, O=strongSwan, CN=carol" > req.der
.EE
.PP
