How to print DSA key generation parameters in text format using OpenSSL "pkeyparam" command?

If you want to see contents of a DSA key generation parameter file in text format, you can use the OpenSSL "pkeyparam -text" command as shown below:

C:\Users\fyicenter>\local\openssl\openssl.exe

OpenSSL> pkeyparam -in my_dsa.prm -text -noout

This test tells us that a DSA key generation parameters file is made of:

P: The first prime number of 1024 bits.
Q: The second prime number, where (P-1) is multiple of Q.
G: An integer between 1 and P, and generated by (h**((p–1)/q) mod p), 
   where is h is any number.

Options used in this command are:

• "-in my_dsa.prm" - Read the DSA key generation parameter file.
• "-text" - Print out parameter information in text format.
• "-noout" - Do not include parameters itself in the output.
