+framework for command line options or configuration files.
+
+SSL_CONF_cmd_value_type() returns the type of value that B<cmd> refers to.
+
+The function SSL_CONF_finish() must be called after all configuration
+operations have been completed. It is used to finalise any operations
+or to process defaults.
+
+=head1 SUPPORTED COMMAND LINE COMMANDS
+
+Currently supported B<cmd> names for command lines (i.e. when the
+flag B<SSL_CONF_CMDLINE> is set) are listed below. Note: all B<cmd> names
+are case sensitive. Unless otherwise stated commands can be used by
+both clients and servers and the B<value> parameter is not used. The default
+prefix for command line commands is B<-> and that is reflected below.

+
+=item B<-sigalgs>
+
+This sets the supported signature algorithms for TLS v1.2. For clients this
+value is used directly for the supported signature algorithms extension. For
+servers it is used to determine which signature algorithms to support.
+
+The B<value> argument should be a colon separated list of signature algorithms
+in order of decreasing preference of the form B<algorithm+hash>. B<algorithm>
+is one of B<RSA>, B<DSA> or B<ECDSA> and B<hash> is a supported algorithm
+OID short name such as B<SHA1>, B<SHA224>, B<SHA256>, B<SHA384> of B<SHA512>.
+Note: algorithm and hash names are case sensitive.
+
+If this option is not set then all signature algorithms supported by the
+OpenSSL library are permissible.
+
+=item B<-client_sigalgs>
+
+This sets the supported signature algorithms associated with client
+authentication for TLS v1.2. For servers the value is used in the supported
+signature algorithms field of a certificate request. For clients it is
+used to determine which signature algorithm to with the client certificate.
+If a server does not request a certificate this option has no effect.
+
+The syntax of B<value> is identical to B<-sigalgs>. If not set then
+the value set for B<-sigalgs> will be used instead.
+
+=item B<-curves>
+
+This sets the supported elliptic curves. For clients the curves are
+sent using the supported curves extension. For servers it is used
+to determine which curve to use. This setting affects curves used for both
+signatures and key exchange, if applicable.
+
+The B<value> argument is a colon separated list of curves. The curve can be
+either the B<NIST> name (e.g. B<P-256>) or an OpenSSL OID name (e.g
+B<prime256v1>). Curve names are case sensitive.
+
+=item B<-named_curve>
+
+This sets the temporary curve used for ephemeral ECDH modes. Only used by
+servers
+
+The B<value> argument is a curve name or the special value B<auto> which
+picks an appropriate curve based on client and server preferences. The curve
+can be either the B<NIST> name (e.g. B<P-256>) or an OpenSSL OID name
+(e.g B<prime256v1>). Curve names are case sensitive.
+
+=item B<-cipher>
+
+Sets the cipher suite list to B<value>. Note: syntax checking of B<value> is
+currently not performed unless a B<SSL> or B<SSL_CTX> structure is
+associated with B<cctx>.
+
+=item B<-cert>
+
+Attempts to use the file B<value> as the certificate for the appropriate
+context. It currently uses SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() if an B<SSL_CTX>
+structure is set or SSL_use_certificate_file() with filetype PEM if an B<SSL>
+structure is set. This option is only supported if certificate operations
+are permitted.
+
+=item B<-key>
+
+Attempts to use the file B<value> as the private key for the appropriate
+context. This option is only supported if certificate operations
+are permitted. Note: if no B<-key> option is set then a private key is
+not loaded unless the flag B<SSL_CONF_FLAG_REQUIRE_PRIVATE> is set.
+
+=item B<-dhparam>
+
+Attempts to use the file B<value> as the set of temporary DH parameters for
+the appropriate context. This option is only supported if certificate
+operations are permitted.
+
+=item B<-no_ssl3>, B<-no_tls1>, B<-no_tls1_1>, B<-no_tls1_2>
+
+Disables protocol support for SSLv3, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2
+by setting the corresponding options B<SSL_OP_NO_SSL3>,
+B<SSL_OP_NO_TLS1>, B<SSL_OP_NO_TLS1_1> and B<SSL_OP_NO_TLS1_2> respectively.
+
+=item B<-bugs>
+
+Various bug workarounds are set, same as setting B<SSL_OP_ALL>.
+
+=item B<-no_comp>
+
+Disables support for SSL/TLS compression, same as setting B<SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESS>.
+
+=item B<-no_ticket>
+
+Disables support for session tickets, same as setting B<SSL_OP_NO_TICKET>.
+
+=item B<-serverpref>
+
+Use server and not client preference order when determining which cipher suite,
+signature algorithm or elliptic curve to use for an incoming connection.
+Equivalent to B<SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE>. Only used by servers.
+
+=item B<-no_resumption_on_reneg>
+
+set SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION flag. Only used by servers.
+
+=item B<-legacyrenegotiation>
+
+permits the use of unsafe legacy renegotiation. Equivalent to setting
+B<SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION>.
+
+=item B<-legacy_server_connect>, B<-no_legacy_server_connect>
+
+permits or prohibits the use of unsafe legacy renegotiation for OpenSSL
+clients only. Equivalent to setting or clearing B<SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT>.
+Set by default.
+
+=item B<-strict>
+
+enables strict mode protocol handling. Equivalent to setting
+B<SSL_CERT_FLAG_TLS_STRICT>.
+
+=item B<-debug_broken_protocol>
+
+disables various checks and permits several kinds of broken protocol behaviour
+for testing purposes: it should B<NEVER> be used in anything other than a test
+environment. Only supported if OpenSSL is configured with
+B<-DOPENSSL_SSL_DEBUG_BROKEN_PROTOCOL>.
