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.
