ndnsec-export
=============
``ndnsec-export`` is a tool to export an identity's security data
Usage
-----
::
$ ndnsec-export [-h] [-o output] [-p] identity
Description
-----------
``ndnsec-export`` can export public data of the ``identity`` including default key/certificate.
``ndnsec-export`` can also export sensitive data (such as private key), but the sensitive data will
be encrypted. The exported identity can be imported again using ``ndnsec-import``.
By default, the command will write exported data to standard output.
Options
-------
``-o output``
Output the exported data to a file pointed by ``output``.
``-p``
Export private key of the identity. A password will be asked for data encryption.
Examples
--------
Export an identity's security data including private key and store the security data in a file:
::
$ ndnsec-export -o id.info -p /ndn/test/alice
Export an identity's security data without private key and write it to standard output:
::
$ ndnsec-export /ndn/test/alice
