True, there are https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Command_Line_Utilities https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Enc https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Command_Line_Elliptic_Curve_Operations but they're not exactly brimming with examples... That being said, I think Tom was interested in library use, not application use, given that static compilation of the `openssl` binary is the default behaviour of configure scripts and it doesn't require installation to use. -- Regards, Hubert Kario Senior Quality Engineer, QE BaseOS Security team Web: www.cz.redhat.com Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkyňova 99/71, 612 45, Brno, Czech Republic
