Usage: docker trust key generate NAME

Description
docker trust key generate generates a key-pair to be used with signing,
and loads the private key into the local docker trust keystore.
docker trust key generate is currently experimental.
Examples
Generate a key-pair
$ docker trust key generate alice
Generating key for alice...
Enter passphrase for new alice key with ID 17acf3c:
Repeat passphrase for new alice key with ID 17acf3c:
Successfully generated and loaded private key. Corresponding public key available: alice.pub
$ ls
alice.pub
The private signing key is encrypted by the passphrase and loaded into the docker trust keystore.
All passphrase requests to sign with the key will be referred to by the provided NAME.
The public key component alice.pub will be available in the current working directory, and can
be used directly by docker trust signer add.
