| ndnsec-export |
| ============= |
| |
| Usage |
| ----- |
| |
| :: |
| |
| $ ndnsec-export [-h] [-o output] identity |
| |
| Description |
| ----------- |
| |
| ``ndnsec-export`` exports the default certificate of an identity and its private key as a file. It |
| will ask for a passphrase to encrypt the private key. The output file can be imported again with |
| ``ndnsec-import`` command. |
| |
| Options |
| ------- |
| |
| ``-h`` |
| Print a help message. |
| |
| ``-o output`` |
| Write to an output file instead of the standard output. |
| |
| ``-P passphrase`` |
| Passphrase to use for the export. If not specified (or specified an empty passphrase), the |
| user is interactively asked to input the passphrase on the terminal. Note that specifying |
| passphrase via -P is insecure, as it can potentially end up in shell history, be visible in |
| ps output, etc. |
| |
| ``identity`` |
| The identity name. |
| |
| Examples |
| -------- |
| |
| Export an identity's default certificate and private key into a file: |
| |
| :: |
| |
| $ ndnsec-export -o alice.ndnkey /ndn/test/alice |
| |
| Export an identity's default certificate and private key to the standard output: |
| |
| :: |
| |
| $ ndnsec-export /ndn/test/alice |
