DESCRIPTION¶

This command is used to generate list of algorithms or disabled features.

OPTIONS¶

-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).

Display of algorithm names¶

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.

HISTORY¶

The -engines, -digest-commands, and -cipher-commands options were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
