scp: Have `fatal()' append a newline to the message
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2015 20:33:19 -0000
It would seem that it's standard practice not to include a newline in the message
text, but that results in poor formatting, as a shell's command line then begins
on the line of the error message itself.
This commit simply instructs `fatal()' to append a newline after the message,
which should be suitable behavior for all of the invocations I've come across.

.TH dropbearkey 1 .SH NAME dropbearkey \- create private keys for the use with dropbear(8) or dbclient(1) .SH SYNOPSIS .B dropbearkey \-t .I type \-f .I file [\-s .IR bits ] [\-y] .SH DESCRIPTION .B dropbearkey generates a \fIRSA\fR, \fIDSS\fR, or \fIECDSA\fR format SSH private key, and saves it to a file for the use with the Dropbear client or server. Note that some SSH implementations use the term "DSA" rather than "DSS", they mean the same thing. .SH OPTIONS .TP .B \-t \fItype Type of key to generate. Must be one of .I rsa .I ecdsa or .IR dss . .TP .B \-f \fIfile Write the secret key to the file \fIfile\fR. For client authentication ~/.ssh/id_dropbear is loaded by default .TP .B \-s \fIbits Set the key size to .I bits bits, should be multiple of 8 (optional). .TP .B \-y Just print the publickey and fingerprint for the private key in \fIfile\fR. .SH NOTES The program dropbearconvert(1) can be used to convert between Dropbear and OpenSSH key formats. .P Dropbear does not support encrypted keys. .SH 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 .SH AUTHOR Matt Johnston ([email protected]). .br Gerrit Pape ([email protected]) wrote this manual page. .SH SEE ALSO dropbear(8), dbclient(1), dropbearconvert(1) .P https://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html
