.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
OpenSSL is a cryptography toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (\s-1SSL\s0
v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (\s-1TLS\s0 v1) network protocols and related
cryptography standards required by them.
.PP
The \fBopenssl\fR program is a command line tool for using the various
cryptography functions of OpenSSL's \fBcrypto\fR library from the shell.
It can be used for
.PP
.Vb 8
\& 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

.SH "COMMAND SUMMARY"
.IX Header "COMMAND SUMMARY"
The \fBopenssl\fR program provides a rich variety of commands (\fIcommand\fR in the
\&\s-1SYNOPSIS\s0 above), each of which often has a wealth of options and arguments
(\fIcommand_opts\fR and \fIcommand_args\fR in the \s-1SYNOPSIS\s0).
.PP
Detailed documentation and use cases for most standard subcommands are available
(e.g., \fBx509\fR\|(1) or \fBopenssl\-x509\fR\|(1)).
.PP
Many commands use an external configuration file for some or all of their
arguments and have a \fB\-config\fR option to specify that file.
The environment variable \fB\s-1OPENSSL_CONF\s0\fR can be used to specify
the location of the file.
If the environment variable is not specified, then the file is named
\&\fBopenssl.cnf\fR in the default certificate storage area, whose value
depends on the configuration flags specified when the OpenSSL
was built.
.PP
The list parameters \fBstandard-commands\fR, \fBdigest-commands\fR,
and \fBcipher-commands\fR 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 \fBopenssl\fR utility.
.PP
The list parameters \fBcipher-algorithms\fR and
\&\fBdigest-algorithms\fR list all cipher and message digest names, one entry per line. Aliases are listed as:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& from => to
.Ve
.PP
The list parameter \fBpublic-key-algorithms\fR lists all supported public
key algorithms.
.PP
The command \fBno\-\fR\fI\s-1XXX\s0\fR tests whether a command of the
specified name is available.  If no command named \fI\s-1XXX\s0\fR exists, it
returns 0 (success) and prints \fBno\-\fR\fI\s-1XXX\s0\fR; otherwise it returns 1
and prints \fI\s-1XXX\s0\fR.  In both cases, the output goes to \fBstdout\fR and
nothing is printed to \fBstderr\fR.  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 \fBopenssl\fR program.  (\fBno\-\fR\fI\s-1XXX\s0\fR is
not able to detect pseudo-commands such as \fBquit\fR,
\&\fBlist\fR, or \fBno\-\fR\fI\s-1XXX\s0\fR itself.)

.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
Details of which options are available depend on the specific command.
This section describes some common options with common behavior.
.SS "Common Options"
.IX Subsection "Common Options"
.IP "\fB\-help\fR" 4
.IX Item "-help"
Provides a terse summary of all options.
.SS "Pass Phrase Options"
.IX Subsection "Pass Phrase Options"
Several commands accept password arguments, typically using \fB\-passin\fR
and \fB\-passout\fR 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.
.PP
Note that character encoding may be relevant, please see
\&\fBpassphrase\-encoding\fR\|(7).
.IP "\fBpass:password\fR" 4
.IX Item "pass:password"
The actual password is \fBpassword\fR. Since the password is visible
to utilities (like 'ps' under Unix) this form should only be used
where security is not important.
.IP "\fBenv:var\fR" 4
.IX Item "env:var"
Obtain the password from the environment variable \fBvar\fR. 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.
.IP "\fBfile:pathname\fR" 4
.IX Item "file:pathname"
The first line of \fBpathname\fR is the password. If the same \fBpathname\fR
argument is supplied to \fB\-passin\fR and \fB\-passout\fR arguments then the first
line will be used for the input password and the next line for the output
password. \fBpathname\fR need not refer to a regular file: it could for example
refer to a device or named pipe.
.IP "\fBfd:number\fR" 4
.IX Item "fd:number"
Read the password from the file descriptor \fBnumber\fR. This can be used to
send the data via a pipe for example.
.IP "\fBstdin\fR" 4
.IX Item "stdin"
Read the password from standard input.
