-f file
Write the secret key to the file file.
-s bits
Set the key size to bits bits, should be multiple of 8 (optional).
-y Just print the publickey and fingerprint for the private key in file.
EXAMPLE
generate a host-key:
# dropbearkey -t rsa -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key
extract a public key suitable for authorized_keys from private key:
# dropbearkey -y -f id_rsa | grep "^ssh-rsa " >> authorized_keys
