[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#546802: openssl: missing documentation for sha256 support

[Tollef Fog Heen]

Package: openssl
Version: 0.9.8k-4
Severity: minor

It seems like at least the x509 man page is somewhat out of date:

$ openssl x509 -sha256 -noout -fingerprint -in newcert.pem
SHA256 Fingerprint=B6:7A:EE:04:7A:70:54:B9:32:F3:17:68:12:50:23:D6:38:F8:06:62:3F:28:06:EA:4C:30:B8:9D:8F:B1:B7:F4
$ man x509 | grep sha256
$
