While I agree with the info below, I disagree with openssl NOT being a
program. The OpenSSL package compiles and installs an executable called
'openssl' that allows you to access the features of the library from the
command line.
>From my machines:
Linux:
[dkf@BaxterBoy dkf]$ which openssl
/usr/bin/openssl
[dkf@BaxterBoy dkf]$ openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.5a 1 Apr 2000
Solaris:
shepster[1]> which openssl
/local/bin/openssl
shepster[4]> openssl version
