Cool! This is very welcome; I scratch my head every time I use openssl.
I personally greatly prefer GNU argument conventions, ie. dual dashes for
long arguments (--server) and short single-dash versions of the most common
arguments (-s). Even if you don't want to implement this now, changing the
docs to use the dual dash versions would make changing later possible.

I'd also like if the generated filenames contained the domain name. Nice
for vhost configurations.

For context, it's this way because solderpunk is using the go `flag` package,
which doesn't support GNU flags. Writing it that way would require pulling in
some external dependency, and probably doing some rewrites of the CLI flag
parsing.

I sent this a bit early, I also meant to say:

... and honestly I don't think it's worth the effort and dependencies just forthe added feature of making the user type an extra dash before their arguments.

Sorry for the doublepost.
