That's fine, that's a generic argument parsing error.

That error makes no sense. ED25519 keys have a fixed

I think this is fine.
At the point where the -b argument is matched, it is not clear what
key-type is being handled. It is in your case, but not if -b and -t
arguments are swapped.
You can go read the source to see why.
Cool!

Hi All,
$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -b 1000
Bits has bad value 1000 (too large)
$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -b 2
key bits exceeds maximum 16384
Should the first example report the max bits like in the second example?
