Just MacOS.

OpenBSD is generally pretty good about providing some useful examples in man pages. The libressl man page has examples too, for genpkey at least.
- tomxor 7y agoI meant OR (|) as a do not _know_ having only tried OpenSSL, updated to clarify this - I thought using bitwise operators would be safe here, I guess it doesn't work with english. RE man pages, I am speaking generally (as i said), i know nothing of OpenBSDs man pages, and it doesn't matter, my point was not that LibreSSL or OpenSSL man pages suck for examples, but that it's a bad premise for an argument against Open/LibreSSL.
- zimpenfish 7y agoCurrent MacOS (Mojave, 10.14.5) has a man page for openssl, command line help for openssl, and generates a 2048 bit modulus, and is LibreSSL version 2.6.5 (admittedly nearly a year old.) $ openssl genrsa -out private_key.pem Generating RSA private key, 2048 bit long modulus .................+++ ........................................+++ e is 65537 (0x10001)
