=head1 NAME
openssl-version - print OpenSSL version information
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<openssl version>
[B<-help>]
[B<-a>]
[B<-v>]
[B<-b>]
[B<-o>]
[B<-f>]
[B<-p>]
[B<-d>]
[B<-e>]
[B<-m>]
[B<-r>]
[B<-c>]
[B<-w>]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This command is used to print out version information about OpenSSL.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-help>
Print out a usage message.
=item B<-a>
All information, this is the same as setting all the other flags.
=item B<-v>
The current OpenSSL version.
=item B<-b>
The date the current version of OpenSSL was built.
=item B<-o>
Option information: various options set when the library was built.
=item B<-f>
Compilation flags.
=item B<-p>
Platform setting.
=item B<-d>
OPENSSLDIR setting.
=item B<-e>
ENGINESDIR settings.
=item B<-m>
MODULESDIR settings.
=item B<-r>
The random number generator source settings.
=item B<-c>
The OpenSSL CPU settings info.
=item B<-w>
The OpenSSL B<OSSL_WINCTX> build time variable, if set.
Used for computing Windows registry key names. This option is unavailable on
non-Windows platforms.

=head1 HISTORY
In OpenSSL versions prior to 3.4, OpenSSL had a limitation regarding the
B<OPENSSLDIR>, B<MODULESDIR> and B<ENGINESDIR> build time macros. These macros
were defined at build time, and represented filesystem paths. This is common
practice on unix like systems, as there was an expectation that a given build
would be installed to a pre-determined location. On Windows however, there is
no such expectation, as libraries can be installed to arbitrary locations.
B<OSSL_WINCTX> was introduced as a new build time variable to define a set of
registry keys identified by the name openssl-<version>-<ctx>, in which the
<version> value is derived from the version string in the openssl source, and
the <ctx> extension is derived from the B<OSSL_WINCTX> variable. The values of
B<OPENSSLDIR>, B<ENGINESDIR> and B<MODULESDIR> can be set to various paths
underneath this key to break the requirement to predict the installation path at
build time.
=head1 NOTES
The output of C<openssl version -a> would typically be used when sending
in a bug report.
