Invoking psktool
................

Program  that generates random keys for use with TLS-PSK. The keys are stored in hexadecimal format in a key file.

psktool help/usage (--help)
...........................

This is the automatically generated usage text for psktool.

The text printed is the same whether selected with the help option (--help) or the more-help option (--more-help).  more-help will print the usage text by passing it through a pager program. more-help is disabled on platforms without a working fork(2) function.  The PAGER environment variable is used to select the program, defaulting to more.  Both will exit with a status code of 0.

psktool Examples
................

To add a user 'psk_identity' in keys.psk for use with GnuTLS run:

     $ ./psktool -u psk_identity -p keys.psk
     Generating a random key for user 'psk_identity'
     Key stored to keys.psk
     $ cat keys.psk
     psk_identity:88f3824b3e5659f52d00e959bacab954b6540344
     $

This command will create keys.psk if it does not exist and will add user 'psk_identity'.
