How to view contents of a EC public key file using OpenSSL "pkey" command?

If you want to view contents of a EC public key stored in a file, you can use the OpenSSL "pkey -pubin" command as shown below:

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

OpenSSL> pkey -pubin -in my_ec_pub.key -text -noout
Public-Key: (112 bit)
pub:
    04:ca:b7:6b:a6:85:a5:0b:5a:a3:b9:f0:e9:90:30:
    b3:2c:0b:29:04:e1:ca:2b:fd:f4:53:88:0d:9d
Field Type: prime-field

    00:db:7c:2a:bf:62:e3:5e:76:28:df:ac:65:61:c5

Options used in this command are:

• "-in my_ec_pub.key" - Read the EC public key file from: C:\Users\fyicenter\my_ec_pub.key.
• "-pubin" - Read the input as a public key, instead of private key (together with public key).
• "-text" - Print out key information in text format.
• "-noout" - Do not include the key itself in the output.
