## Installation
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ go get github.com/whyrusleeping/ipfs-key
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
When run, it will write the bytes of
|
|
the serialized private key to stdout. By default, a 2048 bit RSA key will be
|
|
generated. In this case the key size can be changed by specifying the `-bitsize`
|
|
option. The key type can be changed by specifying the `-type` option (rsa or
|
|
ed25519).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ ipfs-key -bitsize=4096 > my-rsa4096.key
|
|
$ ipfs-key -type=ed25519 > my-ed.key
|
|
```
