## Usage 

genrsa [--bits number] [--output filename]

  options:

    --bits: optional number of bits. default 4096

    --output: optional output file name. default "rsa"

Private key will be written to output file name with extension .pem

Public key will be written to output file name with extension .pub

## Example 

Generating a RSA keys with bit size of 4096 to files my-key.pem and my-key.pub
