{- $OpenSSL::safe::opt_provider_synopsis -}
[I<password>]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This 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>, from stdin for
option B<-stdin>, or from the command line, or from the terminal otherwise.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<-help>

Print out a usage message.

=item B<-1>

Use the MD5 based BSD password algorithm B<1> (default).

=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<-reverse>

When the B<-table> option is used, reverse the order of cleartext and hash.
