6 openssl-engine - load and query engines
19 [B<-pre> I<command>] ...
20 [B<-post> I<command>] ...
25 This command has been deprecated. Providers should be used instead of engines.
27 This command is used to query the status and capabilities
28 of the specified I<engine>s.
29 Engines may be specified before and after all other command-line flags.
30 Only those specified are queried.
38 Display an option summary.
40 =item B<-v> B<-vv> B<-vvv> B<-vvvv>
42 Provides information about each specified engine. The first flag lists
43 all the possible run-time control commands; the second adds a
44 description of each command; the third adds the input flags, and the
45 final option adds the internal input flags.
49 Lists the capabilities of each engine.
53 Tests if each specified engine is available, and displays the answer.
57 Displays an error trace for any unavailable engine.
59 =item B<-pre> I<command>
61 =item B<-post> I<command>
63 Command-line configuration of engines.
64 The B<-pre> command is given to the engine before it is loaded and
65 the B<-post> command is given after the engine is loaded.
66 The I<command> is of the form I<cmd>:I<val> where I<cmd> is the command,
67 and I<val> is the value for the command.
68 See the example below.
70 These two options are cumulative, so they may be given more than once in the

79 $ openssl engine -t -tt -vvvv dynamic
80 (dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support
82 SO_PATH: Specifies the path to the new ENGINE shared library
84 NO_VCHECK: Specifies to continue even if version checking fails (boolean)
85 (input flags): NUMERIC
86 ID: Specifies an ENGINE id name for loading
88 LIST_ADD: Whether to add a loaded ENGINE to the internal list (0=no,1=yes,2=mandatory)
89 (input flags): NUMERIC
90 DIR_LOAD: Specifies whether to load from 'DIR_ADD' directories (0=no,1=yes,2=mandatory)
91 (input flags): NUMERIC
92 DIR_ADD: Adds a directory from which ENGINEs can be loaded
94 LOAD: Load up the ENGINE specified by other settings
95 (input flags): NO_INPUT
97 To list the capabilities of the B<rsax> engine:
100 (rsax) RSAX engine support
102 (dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support
108 =item B<OPENSSL_ENGINES>
110 The path to the engines directory.
