public or private key processing tool
SYNOPSIS
openssl cmd -help | [-option | -option arg] ... [arg] ...
DESCRIPTION
Every cmd listed above is a (sub-)command of the
openssl (1) application. It has its own detailed manual
page at openssl-cmd(1). For
example, to view the manual page for the openssl dgst
command, type man openssl-dgst
.
OPTIONS
Among others, every subcommand has a help option.
- -help
-
Print out a usage message for the subcommand.
HISTORY
Initially, the manual page entry for the
openssl
cmd
command used to be
available at cmd(1). Later, the alias
openssl-cmd(1) was
introduced, which made it easier to group the openssl commands using the
apropos (1) command or the shell's tab completion.
In order to reduce cluttering of the global manual page namespace, the manual page entries without the 'openssl-' prefix have been deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0 and will be removed in OpenSSL 4.0.
