33 =head1 DESCRIPTION
34
35 This command is used to generate list of algorithms or disabled
36 features.
37
38 =head1 OPTIONS
39
40 =over 4
41
42 =item B<-help>
43
44 Display a usage message.
45
46 =item B<-verbose>
47
48 Displays extra information.
49 The options below where verbosity applies say a bit more about what that means.
50
51 =item B<-1>
52
53 List the commands, digest-commands, or cipher-commands in a single column.
54 If used, this option must be given first.
55
56 =item B<-commands>
57
58 Display a list of standard commands.
59
60 =item B<-digest-commands>
61
62 Display a list of message digest commands, which are typically used
63 as input to the L<openssl-dgst(1)> or L<openssl-speed(1)> commands.
64
65 =item B<-cipher-commands>
66
67 Display a list of cipher commands, which are typically used as input
68 to the L<openssl-dgst(1)> or L<openssl-speed(1)> commands.
69
70 =item B<-digest-algorithms>, B<-kdf-algorithms>, B<-mac-algorithms>,
71 B<-cipher-algorithms>
72
73 Display a list of cipher, digest, kdf and mac algorithms.
74 See L</Display of algorithm names> for a description of how names are
75 displayed.
76
77 In verbose mode, the algorithms provided by a provider will get additional
78 information on what parameters each implementation supports.
79
80 =item B<-random-generators>
81
82 Display a list of random number generators.
83 See L</Display of algorithm names> for a description of how names are
84 displayed.
85
86 =item B<-serializers>
87
88 Display a list of serializers.
89 See L</Display of algorithm names> for a description of how names are
90 displayed.
91
92 In verbose mode, the algorithms provided by a provider will get additional
93 information on what parameters each implementation supports.
94
95 =item B<-public-key-algorithms>
96
97 Display a list of public key algorithms, with each algorithm as
98 a block of multiple lines, all but the first are indented.
99 {- output_off() if $disabled{"deprecated-3.0"}; "" -}
100
101 =item B<-public-key-methods>
102
103 This option is deprecated.
104
105 Display a list of public key method OIDs.
106
107 =item B<-engines>
108
109 This option is deprecated.
110
111 Display a list of loaded engines.
112
113 {- output_on() if $disabled{"deprecated-3.0"}; "" -}
114 =item B<-disabled>
115
116 Display a list of disabled features, those that were compiled out
117 of the installation.
118
119 =item B<-objects>
120
121 Display a list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names. They're listed in the
122 format described in L<config(5)/ASN1 Object Configuration Module>.
123
124 =item B<-options> I<command>
125
126 Output a two-column list of the options accepted by the specified I<command>.
127 The first is the option name, and the second is a one-character indication
128 of what type of parameter it takes, if any.
129 This is an internal option, used for checking that the documentation
130 is complete.

135
136 =head2 Display of algorithm names
137
138 Algorithm names may be displayed in one of two manners:
139
140 =over 4
141
142 =item Legacy implementations
143
144 Legacy implementations will simply display the main name of the
145 algorithm on a line of its own, or in the form C<<foo > bar>> to show
146 that C<foo> is an alias for the main name, C<bar>
147
148 =item Provided implementations
149
150 Implementations from a provider are displayed like this if the
151 implementation is labeled with a single name:
152
153 foo @ bar
154
155 or like this if it's labeled with multiple names:
156
157 { foo1, foo2 } @bar
158
159 In both cases, C<bar> is the name of the provider.

163 =head1 HISTORY
164
165 The B<-engines> and B<-public-key-methods> options were deprecated in
166 OpenSSL 3.0.
