Onion Public Key

[D M]

I am unable to read an Onion Public Key using the following OpenSSL
command(the public key file is named pub):

openssl rsa -in pub -text -pubin

This command produces the following errors:

$ openssl rsa -text -in k -pubin
unable to load Public Key

Any ideas on how to get this to work?
