+
+   Running "tor --keygen" creates a new ed25519 master identity key for a
+   relay, or only a fresh temporary signing key and certificate, if you
+   already have a master key.  Optionally you can encrypt the master identity
+   key with a passphrase: Tor will ask you for one. If you don't want to
+   encrypt the master key, just don't enter any passphrase when asked. +
+ +
+   The **--newpass** option should be used with --keygen only when you need
+   to add, change, or remove a passphrase on an existing ed25519 master
+   identity key. You will be prompted for the old passphase (if any),
+   and the new passphrase (if any). +
+ +
+   When generating a master key, you will probably want to use
+   **--DataDirectory** to control where the keys
+   and certificates will be stored, and **--SigningKeyLifetime** to
+   control their lifetimes.  Their behavior is as documented in the
+   server options section below.  (You must have write access to the specified
+   DataDirectory.) +

+   To use the generated files, you must copy them to the DataDirectory/keys

+   user actually running the Tor daemon on your system.

 Other options can be specified on the command-line in the format "--option
