    in the range  256 through 2048
    


Just some descriptive text.
-P, --pvt-cert
generate PC private certificate.

Just some descriptive text.
-p _p_a_s_s_w_d, --pvt-passwd=_p_a_s_s_w_d

Just some descriptive text.
-q _p_a_s_s_w_d, --get-pvt-passwd=_p_a_s_s_w_d
input private password.

Just some descriptive text.
-S _s_i_g_n, --sign-key=_s_i_g_n
generate sign key (RSA or DSA).

Just some descriptive text.
-s _h_o_s_t, --subject-name=_h_o_s_t
set subject name.

Just some descriptive text.
-T, --trusted-cert
trusted certificate (TC scheme).

Just some descriptive text.
-V _n_u_m, --mv-params=_n_u_m
generate MV parameters. This option takes an integer number as its argument.

Just some descriptive text.
-v _n_u_m, --mv-keys=_n_u_m
update MV keys. This option takes an integer number as its argument.

Just some descriptive text.
-?,--help
Display usage information and exit.
-!,--more-help
Extended usage information passed thru pager.
-> [_r_c_f_i_l_e], --save-opts[=_r_c_f_i_l_e]
Save the option state to _r_c_f_i_l_e. The default is the _l_a_s_t configuration file listed in the OOPPTTIIOONN PPRREESSEETTSS section, below.
-< _r_c_f_i_l_e, --load-opts=_r_c_f_i_l_e,--no-load-opts
Load options from _r_c_f_i_l_e. The _n_o_-_l_o_a_d_-_o_p_t_s form will disable the loading of earlier RC/INI files. _-_-_n_o_-_l_o_a_d_-_o_p_t_s is handled early, out of order.
-v [{_v_|_c_|_n}], --version[=_{_v_|_c_|_n_}]
Output version of program and exit. The default mode is `v', a simple version. The `c' mode will print copyright information and `n' will print the full copyright notice.

OPTION PRESETS

Any option that is not marked as _n_o_t _p_r_e_s_e_t_t_a_b_l_e may be preset by loading values from configuration ("RC" or ".INI") file(s) and values from environment variables named:
  NNTTPP__KKEEYYGGEENN__<> or NNTTPP__KKEEYYGGEENN
The environmental presets take precedence (are processed later than) the configuration files. The _h_o_m_e_r_c files are "_$_H_O_M_E", and "_.". If any of these are directories, then the file _._n_t_p_r_c is searched for within those directories.
