HISTORY
       Initially, the manual page entry	for the	"openssl cmd" command used to
       be available at cmd(1). Later, the alias	openssl-cmd(1) was introduced,
       which made it easier to group the openssl commands using	the apropos(1)
       command or the shell's tab completion.

       In order	to reduce cluttering of	the global manual page namespace, the
       manual page entries without the 'openssl-' prefix have been deprecated
       in OpenSSL 3.0 and will be removed in OpenSSL 4.0.

       The engine command was removed in OpenSSL 4.0.
