NAME

openssl-info - print OpenSSL built-in information

SYNOPSIS

openssl info [-help] [-configdir] [-enginesdir] [-modulesdir ] [-dsoext] [-dirnamesep] [-listsep] [-seeds] [-cpusettings]

DESCRIPTION

This command is used to print out information about OpenSSL. The information is written exactly as it is with no extra text, which makes useful for scripts.

As a consequence, only one item may be chosen for each run of this command.

OPTIONS

-help: Print out a usage message.
-configdir: Outputs the default directory for OpenSSL configuration files.
-enginesdir: Outputs the default directory for OpenSSL engine modules.
-modulesdir: Outputs the default directory for OpenSSL dynamically loadable modules other than engine modules.
-dsoext: Outputs the DSO extension OpenSSL uses.
-dirnamesep: Outputs the separator character between a directory specification and a filename. Note that on some operating systems, this is not the same as the separator between directory elements.
-listsep: Outputs the OpenSSL list separator character. This is typically used to construct $PATH ("%PATH%" on Windows) style lists.
-seeds: Outputs the randomness seed sources.
-cpusettings: Outputs the OpenSSL CPU settings info.

HISTORY

This command was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
