Hi.

ssh-keygen(1) reads, in part:

     -i      This 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.
