SYNOPSIS
       openssl cmd -help | [-option | -option arg] ... [arg] ...

DESCRIPTION
       Every cmd listed above is a (sub-)command of the openssl(1) application.  It has its own

       dgst command, type "man openssl-dgst".

HISTORY
       Initially, the manual page entry for the "openssl  cmd"  command  used  to  be  available  at
       cmd(1).  Later,  the  alias  openssl-cmd(1) was introduced, which made it easier to group the
       openssl commands using the apropos(1) command or the shell's tab completion.

       In order to reduce cluttering of the global manual page namespace, the  manual  page  entries
       without  the  'openssl-'  prefix  have  been deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0 and will be removed in
       OpenSSL 4.0.
