In the second phase, \c{puttygen} optionally alters properties of
the key it has loaded or generated. The options to control this are:
\dd Save the public key only. For SSH-1 keys, the standard public key
format will be used (\q{\cw{1024 37 5698745}...}). For SSH-2 keys, the
-public key will be output in the format specified in the IETF
-drafts, which is a multi-line text file beginning with the line
+public key will be output in the format specified by RFC 4716,
+which is a multi-line text file beginning with the line
\q{\cw{---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----}}.
\dt \cw{public-openssh}
\dd Synonym for \q{\cw{-O public}}.
+The following options do not run PuTTYgen as normal, but print
+informational messages and then quit:
+
+\dt \cw{\-h}, \cw{\-\-help}
+
+\dd Display a message summarizing the available options.
+
+\dt \cw{\-V}, \cw{\-\-version}
+
+\dd Display the version of PuTTYgen.
+
+\dt \cw{\-\-pgpfp}
+
+\dd Display the fingerprints of the PuTTY PGP Master Keys, to aid
+in verifying new files released by the PuTTY team.
