How to print private key contents in text format using OpenSSL "pkey" command?

If you want to see contents of a private key in text format, you can use the OpenSSL "pkey -text" command as shown below:

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

OpenSSL> pkey -in my_dh.key -text -noout
DH Private-Key: (1024 bit)

Options used in this command are:

• "-in my_dh.key" - Read the private key file
• "-text" - Print out key information in text format.
• "-noout" - Do not include the key itself in the output.
