openssl-genrsa: Save an RSA private key of an arbitrary number of bits to the output file.
$ openssl genrsa -out ${output_file-key} ${1234}
try on your machine
The command "openssl genrsa -out ${output_file-key} ${1234}" is used to generate an RSA private key using OpenSSL.
Here is the breakdown of the different elements in this command:
- "openssl": This is the command for OpenSSL, a popular open-source cryptography toolkit used for SSL/TLS protocols and general encryption/decryption.
- "genrsa": This is the subcommand for generating an RSA private key.
- "-out ${output_file-key}": This option specifies the output file where the generated private key will be saved. The "${output_file-key}" is a placeholder for the actual file name and location.
- "${1234}": This value is not a valid parameter for the command. It seems like a placeholder or a mistakenly included value.
To use this command correctly, you should replace "${output_file-key}" with the actual desired file name and location for saving the private key. Additionally, remove the "${1234}" placeholder as it doesn't serve any purpose in the context of this command.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
