Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

NAME
openssl-engine - load and query engines
SYNOPSIS
Header "SYNOPSIS" \fBopenssl engine [-help] [-v] [-vv] [-vvv] [-vvvv] [-c] [-t] [-tt] [-pre command] ... [-post command] ... [engine ...]
DESCRIPTION
Header "DESCRIPTION" This command has been deprecated. Providers should be used instead of engines.

This command is used to query the status and capabilities of the specified engines. Engines may be specified before and after all other command-line flags. Only those specified are queried.

OPTIONS
Header "OPTIONS"
-help 4
Item "-help" Display an option summary.
"-v -vv -vvv -vvvv" 4
Item "-v -vv -vvv -vvvv" Provides information about each specified engine. The first flag lists all the possible run-time control commands; the second adds a description of each command; the third adds the input flags, and the final option adds the internal input flags.
-c 4
Item "-c" Lists the capabilities of each engine.
-t 4
Item "-t" Tests if each specified engine is available, and displays the answer.
-tt 4
Item "-tt" Displays an error trace for any unavailable engine.
"-pre command" 4
Item "-pre command"

0

"-post command" 4
Item "-post command"

Command-line configuration of engines. The -pre command is given to the engine before it is loaded and the -post command is given after the engine is loaded. The command is of the form cmd:val where cmd is the command, and val is the value for the command. See the example below. .Sp These two options are cumulative, so they may be given more than once in the same command.

EXAMPLES
Header "EXAMPLES" To list all the commands available to a dynamic engine:

.Vb 10 $ openssl engine -t -tt -vvvv dynamic (dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support [ unavailable ] SO_PATH: Specifies the path to the new ENGINE shared library (input flags): STRING NO_VCHECK: Specifies to continue even if version checking fails (boolean) (input flags): NUMERIC ID: Specifies an ENGINE id name for loading (input flags): STRING LIST_ADD: Whether to add a loaded ENGINE to the internal list (0=no,1=yes,2=mandatory) (input flags): NUMERIC DIR_LOAD: Specifies whether to load from \*(AqDIR_ADD\*(Aq directories (0=no,1=yes,2=mandatory) (input flags): NUMERIC DIR_ADD: Adds a directory from which ENGINEs can be loaded (input flags): STRING LOAD: Load up the ENGINE specified by other settings (input flags): NO_INPUT .Ve

To list the capabilities of the rsax engine:

.Vb 4 $ openssl engine -c (rsax) RSAX engine support [RSA] (dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support .Ve

ENVIRONMENT
Header "ENVIRONMENT"
OPENSSL_ENGINES 4
Item "OPENSSL_ENGINES" The path to the engines directory.
"SEE ALSO"
Header "SEE ALSO" \fBopenssl\|(1), \fBconfig\|(5)
