If no keyring is provided, the user's public keyring is used.
.It Fl Fl generate-key
This command is used to generate a new public and private key pair.
-The user id is taken from the command line, and the user will be
-prompted to provide a suitable pass phrase.
+If provided on the command line, the argument will be given to the
+key generation routine to be used as the identity of the key.
+This is usually the email address and full name, but can be
+any identification token.
+The newly-generated keys are placed in a sub-directory of the
+.Dq home directory
+which is created at key generation time.
+At present, only RSA keys can be generated.
+The hash algorithm and keysize can be specified on the command
+line.
.It Fl Fl import-key
Import a public key as retrieved from one of the public key servers.
