I hope I have the right list for this, my apologies if I don't. I would like to modify the openssl genrsa program to "quietly" generate keys, ie. Not print the '.' and '+' characters to STDOUT when generation occurs. Basically I would like to add the flag -quiet to the genrsa command line.
I guess this may be useful in other functions as well, or it may be that I am the only person annoyed by it ! I have had a brief glance at the code to try and ascertaint the best way to do this, and notice that in genrsa.c for example all output to the screen goes through a function called BIO_printf(). I was considering modifying this function to suppress output if the -quiet flag was present. Could somebody on the list give me a brief summary of the BIO_printf function and also advise whether there would be a better method to achieve my aim.
