+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+This command is used to manipulate \s-1DH\s0 parameter files.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.IX Header "OPTIONS"
+.IP "\fB\-inform DER|PEM\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-inform DER|PEM"
+This specifies the input format. The \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR option uses an \s-1ASN1\s0 \s-1DER\s0 encoded
+form compatible with the PKCS#3 DHparameter structure. The \s-1PEM\s0 form is the
+default format: it consists of the \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR format base64 encoded with
+additional header and footer lines.
+.IP "\fB\-outform DER|PEM\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-outform DER|PEM"
+This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning as the
+\&\fB\-inform\fR option.
+.IP "\fB\-in\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-in filename"
+This specifies the input filename to read parameters from or standard input if
+this option is not specified.
+.IP "\fB\-out\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-out filename"
+This specifies the output filename parameters to. Standard output is used
+if this option is not present. The output filename should \fBnot\fR be the same
+as the input filename.
+.IP "\fB\-dsaparam\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-dsaparam"
+If this option is used, \s-1DSA\s0 rather than \s-1DH\s0 parameters are read or created;
+they are converted to \s-1DH\s0 format. Otherwise, \*(L"strong\*(R" primes (such
+that (p\-1)/2 is also prime) will be used for \s-1DH\s0 parameter generation.
+.Sp
+\&\s-1DH\s0 parameter generation with the \fB\-dsaparam\fR option is much faster,
+and the recommended exponent length is shorter, which makes \s-1DH\s0 key
+exchange more efficient. Beware that with such DSA-style \s-1DH\s0
+parameters, a fresh \s-1DH\s0 key should be created for each use to
+avoid small-subgroup attacks that may be possible otherwise.
+.IP "\fB\-2\fR, \fB\-5\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-2, -5"
+The generator to use, either 2 or 5. 2 is the default. If present then the
+input file is ignored and parameters are generated instead.
+.IP "\fB\-rand\fR \fIfile(s)\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-rand file(s)"
+a file or files containing random data used to seed the random number
+generator, or an \s-1EGD\s0 socket (see \fIRAND_egd\fR\|(3)).
+Multiple files can be specified separated by a OS-dependent character.
+The separator is \fB;\fR for MS\-Windows, \fB,\fR for OpenVMS, and \fB:\fR for
+all others.
+.IP "\fInumbits\fR" 4
+.IX Item "numbits"
+this option specifies that a parameter set should be generated of size
+\&\fInumbits\fR. It must be the last option. If not present then a value of 512
+is used. If this option is present then the input file is ignored and
+parameters are generated instead.
+.IP "\fB\-noout\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-noout"
+this option inhibits the output of the encoded version of the parameters.
+.IP "\fB\-text\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-text"
+this option prints out the \s-1DH\s0 parameters in human readable form.
+.IP "\fB\-C\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-C"
+this option converts the parameters into C code. The parameters can then
+be loaded by calling the \fBget_dh\fR\fInumbits\fR\fB()\fR function.
+.IP "\fB\-engine id\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-engine id"
+specifying an engine (by it's unique \fBid\fR string) will cause \fBreq\fR
+to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
+thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
+for all available algorithms.
+.SH "WARNINGS"
+.IX Header "WARNINGS"
+The program \fBdhparam\fR combines the functionality of the programs \fBdh\fR and
+\&\fBgendh\fR in previous versions of OpenSSL and SSLeay. The \fBdh\fR and \fBgendh\fR
+programs are retained for now but may have different purposes in future
+versions of OpenSSL.
+.SH "NOTES"
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+\&\s-1PEM\s0 format \s-1DH\s0 parameters use the header and footer lines:

+.Vb 2
+\& -----BEGIN DH PARAMETERS-----

+This program manipulates \s-1DH\s0 parameters not keys.
