This specifies the input format. The B<DER> option uses an ASN1 DER encoded
form compatible with the PKCS#1 RSAPrivateKey or SubjectPublicKeyInfo format.
The B<PEM> form is the default format: it consists of the B<DER> format base64
encoded with additional header and footer lines. On input PKCS#8 format private
-keys are also accepted. The B<NET> form is a format is described in the B<NOTES>
-section.

This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning and default

-The B<NET> form is a format compatible with older Netscape servers
-and Microsoft IIS .key files, this uses unsalted RC4 for its encryption.
-It is not very secure and so should only be used when necessary.
-
-Some newer version of IIS have additional data in the exported .key
-files. To use these with the utility, view the file with a binary editor
-and look for the string "private-key", then trace back to the byte
-sequence 0x30, 0x82 (this is an ASN1 SEQUENCE). Copy all the data
-from this point onwards to another file and use that as the input
-to the B<rsa> utility with the B<-inform NET> option.

-The command line password arguments don't currently work with
-B<NET> format.

There should be an option that automatically handles .key files,
without having to manually edit them.
