| Junxiao Shi | 476200b | 2017-10-05 12:16:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 14 | ``ndnsec-export`` exports the default certificate of an identity and its private key as a file. It |
| 15 | will ask for a passphrase to encrypt the private key. The output file can be imported again with |
| 16 | ``ndnsec-import`` command. |

| 25 | Write to an output file instead of the standard output. |

| Alexander Afanasyev | 634a62b | 2018-06-15 16:55:26 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 27 | ``-P passphrase`` |
| 28 | Passphrase to use for the export. If not specified (or specified an empty passphrase), the |
| 29 | user is interactively asked to input the passphrase on the terminal. Note that specifying |
| 30 | passphrase via -P is insecure, as it can potentially end up in shell history, be visible in |
| 31 | ps output, etc. |
