54 - OpenSSL application commands
60 B<openssl> I<cmd> B<-help> | [I<-option> | I<-option> I<arg>] ... [I<arg>] ...
64 Every I<cmd> listed above is a (sub-)command of the L<openssl(1)> application.
65 It has its own detailed manual page at B<openssl-I<cmd>>(1). For example, to
66 view the manual page for the B<openssl dgst> command, type C<man openssl-dgst>.
70 Among others, every subcommand has a help option.
76 Print out a usage message for the subcommand.

135 Initially, the manual page entry for the C<openssl I<cmd>> command used
136 to be available at I<cmd>(1). Later, the alias B<openssl-I<cmd>>(1) was
137 introduced, which made it easier to group the openssl commands using
138 the L<apropos(1)> command or the shell's tab completion.
140 In order to reduce cluttering of the global manual page namespace,
141 the manual page entries without the 'openssl-' prefix have been
142 deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0 and will be removed in OpenSSL 4.0.
