Hi.
ssh-keygen(1) reads, in part:
-iThis option will read an unencrypted private (or public)
key file
in the format specified by the -m option and print an OpenSSH
compatible private (or public) key to stdout.
[ snip ]
-K checkpt
Write the last line processed to the file checkpt while
performing DH candidate screening using the -T option. This will
be used to skip lines in the input file that have already been
processed if the job is restarted. This option allows importing
keys from other software, including several commercial SSH
implementations. The default import format is ``RFC4716''.
I think the -K option description's last two sentences belong with the -i
option description instead.
you're right. it seems the text for the (then new) -K option was added
in the wrong place in -r1.108. just fixed it.
thanks,
