Every
cmd listed above is a (sub-)command of the
openssl(1)
application. It has its own detailed manual page at
openssl-cmd (1). For example, to view the manual
page for the
openssl dgst command, type "man openssl-dgst".
Among others, every subcommand has a help option.

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.
