📖 SYNOPSIS

openssl info [-help] [-configdir] [-enginesdir] [-modulesdir ]
       [-dsoext] [-dirnamesep] [-listsep] [-seeds] [-cpusettings]

📝 DESCRIPTION

This command is used to print out information about OpenSSL. The information is written exactly as it is with no extra text, which makes useful for scripts.

As a consequence, only one item may be chosen for each run of this command.

⚙️ OPTIONS

🔧 -help

Print out a usage message.

🔧 -configdir

Outputs the default directory for OpenSSL configuration files.

🔧 -enginesdir

Outputs the default directory for OpenSSL engine modules.

🔧 -modulesdir

Outputs the default directory for OpenSSL dynamically loadable modules other than engine modules.

🔧 -dsoext

Outputs the DSO extension OpenSSL uses.

🔧 -dirnamesep

Outputs the separator character between a directory specification and a filename. Note that on some operating systems, this is not the same as the separator between directory elements.

🔧 -listsep
