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

If you want to view contents of a DH 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_dh_pub.key -text -noout
DH Public-Key: (1024 bit)
    public-key:

    generator: 2 (0x2)

Options used in this command are:

• "-in my_dh_pub.key" - Read the DH public key file from: C:\Users\fyicenter\my_dh_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.
