NAME
     softhsm2-keyconv - converting from BIND to PKCS#8 key file format

SYNOPSIS
     softhsm2-keyconv --in path --out path [--pin PIN]

DESCRIPTION
     softhsm2-keyconv  can  convert  BIND  .private-key files to the PKCS#8 file
     format.  This is so that you can import the PKCS#8 file into libsofthsm us-
     ing the command softhsm2-util.  If  you  have  another  file  format,  then
     openssl probably can help you to convert it into the PKCS#8 file format.

OPTIONS
     --help, -h Shows the help screen.

     --in path
	    The path to the input file.

     --out path
	    The path to the output file.

     --pin PIN
	    The  PIN will be used to encrypt the PKCS#8 file.  If not given then
	    the PKCS#8 file will be unencrypted.

     --version, -v
	    Show the version info.

EXAMPLES
     The following command can be used to convert a BIND .private-key file to  a
     PKCS#8 file:

	    softhsm2-keyconv --in Kexample.com.+007+05474.private \
		   --out rsa.pem
