Short Descriptions

c_rehash is a Perl script that scans all files in a directory and adds symbolic links to their hash values.

openssl is a command-line tool for using the various cryptography functions of OpenSSL's crypto library from the shell. It can be used for various functions which are documented in man 1 openssl.


libcrypto.so implements a wide range of cryptographic algorithms used in various Internet standards. The services provided by this library are used by the OpenSSL implementations of SSL, TLS and S/ MIME, and they have also been used to implement OpenSSH, OpenPGP, and other cryptographic standards.

libssl.so implements the Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocol. It provides a rich API, documentation on which can be found by running man 3 ssl.
