openssl-passwd, passwd - compute password hashes
openssl passwd [-help] [-crypt] [-1] [-apr1] [-aixmd5] [-5] [-6] [-salt string] [-in file] [-stdin] [-noverify] [-quiet] [-table] [-rand file...] [-writerand file] {password}
The passwd 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 file, from stdin for option -stdin, or from the command line, or from the terminal otherwise.
Print out a usage message.
Use the crypt algorithm (default).
Use the MD5 based BSD password algorithm 1.
Use the apr1 algorithm (Apache variant of the BSD algorithm).
Use the AIX MD5 algorithm (AIX variant of the BSD algorithm).
Use the SHA256 / SHA512 based algorithms defined by Ulrich Drepper. See https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt.
Use the specified salt. When reading a password from the terminal, this implies -noverify.
Read passwords from file.
Read passwords from stdin.
Don't verify when reading a password from the terminal.
Don't output warnings when passwords given at the command line are truncated.
In the output list, prepend the cleartext password and a TAB character to each password hash.
A file or files containing random data used to seed the random number generator. Multiple files can be specified separated by an OS-dependent character. The separator is ; for MS-Windows, , for OpenVMS, and : for all others.
Writes random data to the specified file upon exit. This can be used with a subsequent -rand flag.
