-in arg input file
-out arg output file
-text text form of request
-pubkey output public key
-noout do not output REQ
-verify verify signature on REQ
-modulus RSA modulus
-nodes don't encrypt the output key
-engine e use engine e, possibly a hardware device

-set_serial serial number to use for a certificate generated by -x509.
-newhdr output "NEW" in the header lines
