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.
