I have a branch that adds pretty comprehensive option-checking to all the
openssl commands:
; ./openssl x509 --CA /no/such/file
x509: Cannot open input file /no/such/file, No such file or directory
x509: Use -help for summary.
; ./openssl x509 -days 1.2
x509: Invalid number "1.2" for -days
x509: Use -help for summary.
; ./openssl rsa -out /vmlinuz
rsa: Cannot open output file /vmlinuz, Permission denied
rsa: Use -help for summary.
I know I broke some things; please try things out. The branch is here:
https://github.com/akamai/openssl/tree/rsalz-monolith
This is NOT planned for 1.0.2, but hopefully the very next one after that.
