<h2 id="Display-of-algorithm-names">Display of algorithm names</h2>

<p>Algorithm names may be displayed in one of two manners:</p>

<dl>

<dt id="Legacy-implementations">Legacy implementations</dt>
<dd>

<p>Legacy implementations will simply display the main name of the algorithm on a line of its own, or in the form <code>&lt;foo </code> bar&gt;&gt; to show that <code>foo</code> is an alias for the main name, <code>bar</code></p>

</dd>
<dt id="Provided-implementations">Provided implementations</dt>
<dd>

<p>Implementations from a provider are displayed like this if the implementation is labeled with a single name:</p>

<pre><code>foo @ bar</code></pre>

<p>or like this if it&#39;s labeled with multiple names:</p>

<pre><code>{ foo1, foo2 } @bar</code></pre>

<p>In both cases, <code>bar</code> is the name of the provider.</p>

</dd>
</dl>

<h1 id="HISTORY">HISTORY</h1>

<p>The <b>-engines</b>, <b>-digest-commands</b>, and <b>-cipher-commands</b> options were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.</p>

<p>The <b>-skey-managers</b> option was added in OpenSSL 3.5.</p>
