NAME
       openssl - OpenSSL command line tool

SYNOPSIS
       openssl command [ command_opts ] [ command_args ]

       openssl list [ standard-commands | digest-commands | cipher-commands | cipher-algorithms | digest-algorithms | public-key-algorithms]

       openssl no-XXX [ arbitrary options ]

DESCRIPTION
       OpenSSL is a cryptography toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) network protocols and related cryptography standards required by them.

       The openssl program is a command line tool for using the various cryptography functions of OpenSSL's crypto library from the shell.  It can be used for

        o  Creation and management of private keys, public keys and parameters
        o  Public key cryptographic operations
        o  Creation of X.509 certificates, CSRs and CRLs
        o  Calculation of Message Digests
        o  Encryption and Decryption with Ciphers
        o  SSL/TLS Client and Server Tests
        o  Handling of S/MIME signed or encrypted mail
        o  Time Stamp requests, generation and verification

COMMAND SUMMARY
       The openssl program provides a rich variety of commands (command in the SYNOPSIS above), each of which often has a wealth of options and arguments (command_opts and command_args in the SYNOPSIS).

       Many commands use an external configuration file for some or all of their arguments and have a -config option to specify that file.  The environment variable OPENSSL_CONF can be used to specify the location of the file.  If
       the environment variable is not specified, then the file is named openssl.cnf in the default certificate storage area, whose value depends on the configuration flags specified when the OpenSSL was built.

       The list parameters standard-commands, digest-commands, and cipher-commands output a list (one entry per line) of the names of all standard commands, message digest commands, or cipher commands, respectively, that are
       available in the present openssl utility.

       The list parameters cipher-algorithms and digest-algorithms list all cipher and message digest names, one entry per line. Aliases are listed as:

        from => to

       The list parameter public-key-algorithms lists all supported public key algorithms.

       The command no-XXX tests whether a command of the specified name is available.  If no command named XXX exists, it returns 0 (success) and prints no-XXX; otherwise it returns 1 and prints XXX.  In both cases, the output goes
       to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.  Additional command line arguments are always ignored.  Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name, this provides an easy way for shell scripts to test for the
       availability of ciphers in the openssl program.  (no-XXX is not able to detect pseudo-commands such as quit, list, or no-XXX itself.)

OPTIONS
       Details of which options are available depend on the specific command.  This section describes some common options with common behavior.

   Common Options
       -help
           Provides a terse summary of all options.

   Pass Phrase Options
       Several commands accept password arguments, typically using -passin and -passout for input and output passwords respectively. These allow the password to be obtained from a variety of sources. Both of these options take a
       single argument whose format is described below. If no password argument is given and a password is required then the user is prompted to enter one: this will typically be read from the current terminal with echoing turned
       off.

       Note that character encoding may be relevant, please see passphrase-encoding(7).

       pass:password
           The actual password is password. Since the password is visible to utilities (like 'ps' under Unix) this form should only be used where security is not important.

       env:var
           Obtain the password from the environment variable var. Since the environment of other processes is visible on certain platforms (e.g. ps under certain Unix OSes) this option should be used with caution.

       file:pathname
           The first line of pathname is the password. If the same pathname argument is supplied to -passin and -passout arguments then the first line will be used for the input password and the next line for the output password.
           pathname need not refer to a regular file: it could for example refer to a device or named pipe.

       fd:number
           Read the password from the file descriptor number. This can be used to send the data via a pipe for example.

       stdin
           Read the password from standard input.
