Command Usage
• If no parameters are entered, all keys are displayed. If the user keyword
is entered, but no user name is specified, then the public keys for all
users are displayed.
• When an RSA key is displayed, the first field indicates the size of the
host key (e.g., 1024), the second field is the encoded public exponent
(e.g., 35), and the last string is the encoded modulus. When a DSA key
is displayed, the first field indicates that the encryption method used
by SSH is based on the Digital Signature Standard (DSS), and the last
string is the encoded modulus.
