=head1 HISTORY

=for openssl foreign manual apropos(1)

Initially, the manual page entry for the C<openssl I<cmd>> command used
to be available at I<cmd>(1). Later, the alias B<openssl-I<cmd>>(1) was
introduced, which made it easier to group the openssl commands using
the L<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 B<engine> command was removed in OpenSSL 4.0.
