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.

Thank you for your help
Dave Barter
