Well, the manpages appear to be on the openssl.org website, so: http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/pem.html And the callback I should imagine is for reading the poassword from the user if requried. and u will be a pointer to pass to the callback function, like practically all C callbacks.

I am sure that works on a Unix machine, but unfortunately I am on Windows. Could you maybe copy and paste the output of "man pem" in an email? Thanks, Radboud PS: I am sure that the documentation for OpenSSL on Unix machines is adequate, however on Windows machines, with the lack of a working 'man' command and no help files available, it is quite impossible to make heads or tails out of it.
