✨ EC2-FINGERPRINT-KEY(1) ✨

okay bestie, gather round 💖 this is the manual page for ec2-fingerprint-key, living in section 1 of your friendly neighborhood User Commands collection. it's giving "tiny tool, huge glow-up" and honestly? we're obsessed. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ec2-fingerprint-key — generate a fingerprint for a private key 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

 ec2fp ([ec2-fingerprint-key])
 ec2fp [GENERAL OPTIONS] KEYFILE

💜 GENERAL NOTES 💜

lowkey the most important lore drop first, bestie: any command option or parameter can be handed a value of - and that means "hey, read the values for this option from stdin instead" ✨ like, the option is literally pointing at your standard input and saying take it away, king. 🎀

🍓 DESCRIPTION 🍓

so what does this icon actually DO? it generates a fingerprint for a private key — specifically one that was generated by Amazon EC2. 👑

and the KEYFILE parameter? that's a file containing an unencrypted PEM encoded PKCS#8 private key (as generated by Amazon EC2, obviously, we stay on brand around here). 🌈

heads up bestie: unencrypted. PEM encoded. PKCS#8. that's the vibe it wants, no substitutions. 🙈

💅 GENERAL OPTIONS 💅

  • -v, --verbose — verbose output. it tells you MORE. it spills the tea. more words, more detail, no secrets kept. ☕
  • -?, --help — display this help. when you're lost in the sauce, this is your little flashlight. 🔥
  • -H, --headers — display column headers. labels on top of your columns, like a cute little name tag party. 🎀
  • --debug — display additional debugging information. for when you're deep in your detective era and need every crumb. 🕵️‍♀️
  • --show-empty-fields — indicate empty fields. so the empty ones don't just ghost you silently, they get pointed at. 👀
  • --hide-tags — do not display tags for tagged resources. tags? gone. not today. bye. ✨
