Dr. Matthias St. Pierre b6b66573bd Deprecate unprefixed manual entries for openssl commands
Initially, the manual page entry for the 'openssl cmd' command used
to be available at 'cmd(1)'. Later, the aliases '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.

=head1 NAME
openssl-passwd - compute password hashes
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<openssl passwd>
[B<-help>]
[B<-crypt>]
[B<-1>]
[B<-apr1>]
[B<-aixmd5>]
[B<-5>]
[B<-6>]
[B<-salt> I<string>]
[B<-in> I<file>]
[B<-stdin>]
[B<-noverify>]
[B<-quiet>]
[B<-table>]
[B<-rand file...>]
[B<-writerand file>]
{I<password>}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<passwd> command computes the hash of a password typed at
run-time or the hash of each password in a list. The password list is
taken from the named file for option B<-in file>, from stdin for
option B<-stdin>, or from the command line, or from the terminal otherwise.
The Unix standard algorithm B<crypt> and the MD5-based BSD password
algorithm B<1>, its Apache variant B<apr1>, and its AIX variant are available.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-help>
Print out a usage message.
=item B<-crypt>
Use the B<crypt> algorithm (default).
=item B<-1>
Use the MD5 based BSD password algorithm B<1>.
=item B<-apr1>
Use the B<apr1> algorithm (Apache variant of the BSD algorithm).
=item B<-aixmd5>
Use the B<AIX MD5> algorithm (AIX variant of the BSD algorithm).
=item B<-5>
=item B<-6>
Use the B<SHA256> / B<SHA512> based algorithms defined by Ulrich Drepper.
See L<https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt>.
=item B<-salt> I<string>
Use the specified salt.
When reading a password from the terminal, this implies B<-noverify>.
=item B<-in> I<file>
Read passwords from I<file>.
=item B<-stdin>
Read passwords from B<stdin>.
=item B<-noverify>
Don't verify when reading a password from the terminal.
=item B<-quiet>
Don't output warnings when passwords given at the command line are truncated.
=item B<-table>
In the output list, prepend the cleartext password and a TAB character
to each password hash.
=item B<-rand file...>
A file or files containing random data used to seed the random number
generator.
Multiple files can be specified separated by an OS-dependent character.
The separator is B<;> for MS-Windows, B<,> for OpenVMS, and B<:> for
all others.
=item [B<-writerand file>]
Writes random data to the specified I<file> upon exit.
This can be used with a subsequent B<-rand> flag.
