NAME
       openssl-passwd - compute password hashes

SYNOPSIS
       openssl passwd [-help] [-1] [-apr1] [-aixmd5] [-5] [-6] [-salt string] [-in file] [-stdin] [-noverify] [-quiet]
       [-table] [-reverse] [-rand files] [-writerand file] [-provider name] [-provider-path path] [-provparam
       [name:]key=value] [-propquery propq] [password]

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 -in, from stdin for option -stdin, or from the command line, or from the
       terminal otherwise.

OPTIONS
       -help
	   Print out a usage message.

       -1  Use the MD5 based BSD password algorithm 1 (default).

       -apr1
	   Use the apr1 algorithm (Apache variant of the BSD algorithm).

       -aixmd5
	   Use the AIX MD5 algorithm (AIX variant of the BSD algorithm).

       -5
       -6  Use	   the	   SHA256     /	    SHA512     based	 algorithms	defined	    by	  Ulrich    Drepper.	 See
	   .

       -salt string
	   Use the specified salt.  When reading a password from the terminal, this implies -noverify.

       -in file
	   Read passwords from file.

       -stdin
	   Read passwords from stdin.

       -noverify
	   Don't verify when reading a password from the terminal.

       -quiet
	   Don't output warnings when passwords given at the command line are truncated.

       -table
	   In the output list, prepend the cleartext password and a TAB character to each password hash.

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

       -rand files, -writerand file
	   See "Random State Options" in openssl(1) for details.

       -provider name
       -provider-path path
       -provparam [name:]key=value
       -propquery propq
	   See "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).

EXAMPLES
	 % openssl passwd -1 -salt xxxxxxxx password
	 $1$xxxxxxxx$UYCIxa628.9qXjpQCjM4a.

	 % openssl passwd -apr1 -salt xxxxxxxx password
	 $apr1$xxxxxxxx$dxHfLAsjHkDRmG83UXe8K0

	 % openssl passwd -aixmd5 -salt xxxxxxxx password
	 xxxxxxxx$8Oaipk/GPKhC64w/YVeFD/
