Description dalonso 2019-08-06 08:22:43 AEST 
When printing the public key from a private key-file, using the flag -y of ssh-keygen, there is no way to print that key's comment, although in the new OpenSSH private key storage format the comment is saved inside the private key.

One possibility would be to print it when optionally adding the -v flag to the -y flag.
