Command-Line Help 



HP SSL for OpenVMS includes three pseudocommands that function like command-line help. When you enter one of these pseudocommands at the OpenSSL prompt, SSL displays a list (one entry per line) of names of all the standard commands, message digest commands, or cipher commands, that are available in the command line interface.
NoteTo use these commands, you must have previously run SYS$STARTUP:SSL$STARTUP.COM and SSL$COM:SSL$UTILS.COM.

The pseudocommands are as follows:

$ openssl

openssl> list-standard-commands

openssl> list-message-digest-commands

openssl> list-cipher-commands

To obtain a list of all of the commands available, enter the following:

$ openssl ?

SSL$UTILS.COM sets up foreign commands to provide command-line accesss to the standard, message digest, and cipher commands. You can also display the UNIX manpage documentation for each command by entering the following:

$ openssl command-name ?

where command-name is the name of an OpenSSL command such as asn1parse.
