This command is used to generate list of algorithms or disabled
features.
- -help
- Display a usage message.
- -verbose
- Displays extra information. The options below where verbosity applies say
a bit more about what that means.
- -select
name
- Only list algorithms that match this name.
- -1
- List the commands, digest-commands, or cipher-commands in a single column.
If used, this option must be given first.
- -commands
- Display a list of standard commands.
- -standard-commands
- List of standard commands.
- -digest-commands
- This option is deprecated. Use digest-algorithms instead.
Display a list of message digest commands, which are typically
used as input to the openssl-dgst(1) or openssl-speed(1)
commands.
- -cipher-commands
- This option is deprecated. Use cipher-algorithms instead.
Display a list of cipher commands, which are typically used as
input to the openssl-enc(1) or openssl-speed(1)
commands.
- -cipher-algorithms,
-digest-algorithms, -kdf-algorithms,
-mac-algorithms,
- Display a list of symmetric cipher, digest, kdf and mac algorithms. See
"Display of algorithm names" for a description of how names are
displayed.
In verbose mode, the algorithms provided by a provider will
get additional information on what parameters each implementation
supports.
- -random-instances
- List the primary, public and private random number generator details.
- -random-generators
- Display a list of random number generators. See "Display of algorithm
names" for a description of how names are displayed.
- -encoders
- Display a list of encoders. See "Display of algorithm names" for
a description of how names are displayed.
In verbose mode, the algorithms provided by a provider will
get additional information on what parameters each implementation
supports.
- -decoders
- Display a list of decoders. See "Display of algorithm names" for
a description of how names are displayed.
In verbose mode, the algorithms provided by a provider will
get additional information on what parameters each implementation
supports.
- -public-key-algorithms
- Display a list of public key algorithms, with each algorithm as a block of
multiple lines, all but the first are indented. The options
key-exchange-algorithms, kem-algorithms,
signature-algorithms, and asymcipher-algorithms will display
similar info.
- -public-key-methods
- Display a list of public key methods.
- -key-managers
- Display a list of key managers.
- -key-exchange-algorithms
- Display a list of key exchange algorithms.
- -kem-algorithms
- Display a list of key encapsulation algorithms.
- -signature-algorithms
- Display a list of signature algorithms.
- -asymcipher-algorithms
- Display a list of asymmetric cipher algorithms.
- -store-loaders
- Display a list of store loaders.
- -providers
- Display a list of all loaded providers with their names, version and
status.
In verbose mode, the full version and all provider parameters
will additionally be displayed.
- -engines
- This option is deprecated.
Display a list of loaded engines.
- -disabled
- Display a list of disabled features, those that were compiled out of the
installation.
- -objects
- Display a list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names. They're listed
in the format described in "ASN1 Object Configuration Module" in
config(5).
- -options
command
- Output a two-column list of the options accepted by the specified
command. The first is the option name, and the second is a
one-character indication of what type of parameter it takes, if any. This
is an internal option, used for checking that the documentation is
complete.
- -provider
name
- -provider-path
path
- -propquery
propq
- See "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7),
and property(7).
Algorithm names may be displayed in one of two manners:
- Legacy
implementations
- Legacy implementations will simply display the main name of the algorithm
on a line of its own, or in the form "<foo
" bar>> to show that
"foo" is an alias for the main name,
"bar"
- Provided
implementations
- Implementations from a provider are displayed like this if the
implementation is labeled with a single name:
foo @ bar
or like this if it's labeled with multiple names:
{ foo1, foo2 } @bar
In both cases, "bar" is the
name of the provider.
The -engines, -digest-commands, and
-cipher-commands options were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
