            Specifies a PEM-encoded PKCS#3 file to read the parameters
337
 
            needed by the TLS Diffie-Hellman key exchange from.  If
338
 
            this option is not given, or if the file for some reason
339
 
            could not be used, the parameters will be generated on
340
 
            startup, which will take some time and processing power.
341
 
            Those using servers running under time, power or processor
342
 
            constraints may want to generate such a file in advance
343
 
            and use this option.
 
314
            TLS Diffie-Hellman key exchange.  Default is 1024.
