I am having some trouble finding documentation or examples showing how to
perform Elliptic Curve crypto operations using the openssl command line

In "man pkeyutl" for version 1.0.1e I see the text "The EC algorithm
supports sign, verify and derive operations." So, I suspect that command
line encryption with EC is not supported, but I just wanted to comfirm that
before digging into libcrypto to get that functionality.
I would appreciate any help you all can pass on.
The only openssl supported EC algorithms are ECDSA (for sign/verify)
and ECDH (for key agreement). That applies to both the ec command line
tool and libcrypto, so you're out of luck I'm afraid.

Not the answer I was hoping for, but at least you saved me some time.
Thanks Matt!
