in hexadecimal. The digest functions also generate and verify digital
signatures using message digests.
+The generic name, B<dgst>, may be used with an option specifying the
+algorithm to be used.
+The default digest is I<sha256>.
+A supported I<digest> name may also be used as the command name.
+To see the list of supported algorithms, use the I<list --digest-commands>
+command.

=over 4
+=item B<-help>
+
+Print out a usage message.

+=item B<-I<digest>>
+
+Specifies name of a supported digest to be used. To see the list of
+supported digests, use the command I<list --digest-commands>.
+
=item B<-c>
print out the digest in two digit groups separated by colons, only relevant if
output the digest in the "coreutils" format used by programs like B<sha1sum>.
-=item B<-hmac arg>
-
-set the HMAC key to "arg".
-
-=item B<-non-fips-allow>
-
-Allow use of non FIPS digest when in FIPS mode. This has no effect when not in
-FIPS mode.
-
=item B<-out filename>
filename to output to, or standard output by default.
Specifies the key format to sign digest with. The DER, PEM, P12,
and ENGINE formats are supported.
-=item B<-engine id>
-
-Use engine B<id> for operations (including private key storage).
-This engine is not used as source for digest algorithms, unless it is
-also specified in the configuration file.
-
=item B<-sigopt nm:v>
Pass options to the signature algorithm during sign or verify operations.
=item B<-passin arg>
the private key password source. For more information about the format of B<arg>

=item B<-verify filename>
-verify the signature using the the public key in "filename".
+verify the signature using the public key in "filename".
The output is either "Verification OK" or "Verification Failure".
=item B<-prverify filename>
-verify the signature using the the private key in "filename".

=item B<key:string>
-Specifies MAC key as alphnumeric string (use if key contain printable
+Specifies MAC key as alphanumeric string (use if key contain printable
characters only). String length must conform to any restrictions of
the MAC algorithm for example exactly 32 chars for gost-mac.
=item B<-rand file(s)>
a file or files containing random data used to seed the random number

+Multiple files can be specified separated by an OS-dependent character.
The separator is B<;> for MS-Windows, B<,> for OpenVMS, and B<:> for

-
-enable use of non-FIPS algorithms such as MD5 even in FIPS mode.

=item B<-fips-fingerprint>
compute HMAC using a specific key
for certain OpenSSL-FIPS operations.

+
+Use engine B<id> for operations (including private key storage).

+
+When used with the B<-engine> option, it specifies to also use

+The digest mechanisms that are available will depend on the options
+used when building OpenSSL.
+The B<list digest-commands> command can be used to list them.

New or agile applications should use probably use SHA-256. Other digests,
particularly SHA-1 and MD5, are still widely used for interoperating
with existing formats and protocols.

prior to verification.
+=head1 HISTORY
+
+The default digest was changed from MD5 to SHA256 in OpenSSL 1.1.0
+The FIPS-related options were removed in OpenSSL 1.1.0
