NAME
openssl-info - print OpenSSL built-in information

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

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.

-windowscontext
    Outputs the Windows install context.

HISTORY
