CONTENTS
SYNOPSIS
athkey [-i device] [-d] keyix cipher keyval [mac]
DESCRIPTION
Each device may have up to four keys; the first argument required is the key
index. The "-d" option may be specified to delete the key associated with the
selected key index. Otherwise, the other arguments required are a cipher type
and a key value encoded as a hexadecimal literal. A MAC address may be given as
a final argument; if given, the key will be considered valid only for the
specified MAC address.
