=head1 NAME
openssl-engine,
engine - load and query engines
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<openssl engine>
[ I<engine...> ]
[B<-v>]
[B<-vv>]
[B<-vvv>]
[B<-vvv>]
[B<-vvv>]
[B<-c>]
[B<-t>]
[B<-tt>]
[B<-pre> I<command>]
[B<-post> I<command>]
[ I<engine...> ]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<engine> command is used to query the status and capabilities
of the specified B<engine>'s.
Engines may be specified before and after all other command-line flags.
Only those specified are queried.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-v> B<-vv> B<-vvv> B<-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.
=item B<-c>
Lists the capabilities of each engine.
=item B<-t>
Tests if each specified engine is available, and displays the answer.
=item B<-tt>
Displays an error trace for any unavailable engine.
=item B<-pre> I<command>
=item B<-post> I<command>
Command-line configuration of engines.
The B<-pre> command is given to the engine before it is loaded and
the B<-post> command is given after the engine is loaded.
The I<command> is of the form I<cmd:val> where I<cmd> is the command,
and I<val> is the value for the command.
See the example below.
