Description

Dropbear and OpenSSH SSH implementations have different private key formats.  dropbearconvert can convert
       between the two.

       Dropbear  uses the same SSH public key format as OpenSSH, it can be extracted from a private key by using
       dropbearkey-y

       Encrypted private keys are not supported, use ssh-keygen(1) to decrypt them first.

Example

        # dropbearconvert openssh dropbear ~/.ssh/id_rsa~/.ssh/id_dropbear

       format DSS files or PKCS8 files is not currently supported.
