GNUNET-ECC(1)

✨ NAME ✨

gnunet-ecc — bestie, this is the tool that messes with your GNUnet ECC key files 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gnunet-ecc [-g COUNT | --generate-keys=COUNT] [-p | --print-public-key]
           [-P | --print-private-key] [-x | --print-hex]
           [-c FILENAME | --config=FILENAME] [-h | --help]
           [-L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=LOGLEVEL] [-v | --version]
           ⟨FILENAME⟩

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, gnunet-ecc is the vibe when you need to make an ECC private key, or print out the public key that matches it. no cap. 🔑

You have to hand it a filename as an argument — one that's holding an ECC private key in GNUnet format. If that file isn't there yet, gnunet-ecc will just create a key for you. and bestie, heads up: that may take a while. like, go get a snack. 🍓

and if you pass the -p option? the corresponding public key gets printed to the console. iconic. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -g COUNT, --generate-keys=COUNT — makes COUNT public-private key pairs and writes them all into FILENAME. literally for when you need to build a file for testing. 🧚
• -p, --print-public-key — prints the corresponding public key to stdout. this is the value used for PKEY records in GNS, fyi.
• -P, --print-private-key — prints the corresponding private key to stdout. yep, this one is also the value used for PKEY records in GNS. 🤫
• -x, --print-hex — prints the corresponding public key to stdout in HEX format. super handy when you're comparing to Ed25519 keys in X.509 tools. iykyk.
• -c FILENAME, --config=FILENAME — use the configuration file FILENAME. 🗂️
• -h, --help — prints a short help thing about the options. we love a quick answer.
• -L LOGLEVEL, --loglevel=LOGLEVEL — use LOGLEVEL for logging. the valid values are DEBUG, INFO, WARNING and ERROR. pick your fighter. ⭐
• -v, --version — prints the GNUnet version number. ✨
