.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Every \fIcmd\fR listed above is a (sub\-)command of the \fBopenssl\fR\|(1) application.
It has its own detailed manual page at \fBopenssl\-\fR\f(BIcmd\fR(1). For example, to
view the manual page for the \fBopenssl dgst\fR command, type \f(CW\*(C`man openssl\-dgst\*(C'\fR.
.SH OPTIONS
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
Among others, every subcommand has a help option.
.IP \fB\-help\fR 4
.IX Item "-help"
Print out a usage message for the subcommand.

.SH HISTORY
.IX Header "HISTORY"
Initially, the manual page entry for the \f(CW\*(C`openssl \fR\f(CIcmd\fR\f(CW\*(C'\fR command used
to be available at \fIcmd\fR(1). Later, the alias \fBopenssl\-\fR\f(BIcmd\fR(1) was
introduced, which made it easier to group the openssl commands using
the \fBapropos\fR\|(1) command or the shell's tab completion.
.PP
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.
