# {gsub(/.{64}/,"&\n")}1
# END {print "-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----"}' > "${pdir}/letsencrypt.key"

# echo -e "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n${priv}\n-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----" \
# | openssl rsa -inform pem -out "${pdir}/letsencrypt.key"

# and sed:
# echo "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----" > "${pdir}/letsencrypt.key"
# echo ${priv} | sed -E 's/(.{64})/\1\n/g' >> "${pdir}/letsencrypt.key"
# sed -i '$ d' "${pdir}/letsencrypt.key"
# echo "-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----" >> "${pdir}/letsencrypt.key"
# openssl rsa -noout -in "${pdir}/letsencrypt.key" -check # To check if the key is valid
# In the end, openssl was chosen because most users will need this script
# *because* of openssl combined with the fact that it will refuse to write the
# key if it does not parse out correctly. The other mechanisms were left as
# comments so that the user can choose the mechanism most appropriate to them.
