**What just happened?**

1. If `~/.ssh` doesn't exist, it will be created
2. `test.pem` private key was created
3. The openssh-compatible public key was extracted from the private key and
   printed to stdout
4. All permissions were properly set for the directory and the key

Namespaces
----------

I like having a separate key for each user on each host, but putting all of
those keys in `~/.ssh` becomes unruly over time.

* What if you have multiple keys to manage for a single host?
* What if your usernames are used on multiple hosts?

**Problem solved.**

```sh
$ mkkey example.com/foo
...
$ mkkey example.com/bar
...
```

**What just happened?**

Everything is the same as above, except if a directory is specified, it will
automatically be created for you.

1. `~/ssh/example.com/foo.pem` was created
2. `~/ssh/example.com/bar.pem` was created
3. All permissions were properly set
