NAME
     jose-jwk-eql - Checks if two keys are equal

SYNOPSIS
     jose jwk eql -i JWK -i JWK

OVERVIEW
     The jose jwk eql command determines whether two keys are equal. It compares
     the  same	properties  defined for use in a JWK thumbprint (RFC 7638). This
     means that optional metadata isn't considered for comparison.

OPTIONS
     *	 -i JSON, --input=JSON : Parse JWK(Set) from JSON

     *	 -i FILE, --input=FILE : Read JWK(Set) from FILE

     *	 -i -, --input=- : Read JWK(Set) standard input

EXAMPLES
     Generate a key and modify optional metadata then test equality:

	 $ jose jwk gen -i '{"alg":"ES256"}' -o key.jwk
	 $ jose fmt -j key.jwk -Od alg -o mod.jwk
	 $ jose jwk eql -i key.jwk -i mod.jwk
	 $ echo $?
	 0
