+openssl-speed,
+speed - test library performance
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<openssl speed>
+[B<-help>]
+[B<-engine id>]
+[B<-elapsed>]
+[B<-evp algo>]
+[B<-decrypt>]

+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This command is used to test the performance of cryptographic algorithms.
+To see the list of supported algorithms, use the I<list --digest-commands>
+or I<list --cipher-commands> command. The global CSPRNG is denoted by
+the I<rand> algorithm name.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<-help>
+
+Print out a usage message.
+
+=item B<-engine id>
+
+Specifying an engine (by its unique B<id> string) will cause B<speed>
+to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
+thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
+for all available algorithms.
+
+=item B<-elapsed>
+
+When calculating operations- or bytes-per-second, use wall-clock time
+instead of CPU user time as divisor. It can be useful when testing speed
+of hardware engines.
+
+=item B<-evp algo>
+
+Use the specified cipher or message digest algorithm via the EVP interface.
+If B<algo> is an AEAD cipher, then you can pass <-aead> to benchmark a
+TLS-like sequence. And if B<algo> is a multi-buffer capable cipher, e.g.
+aes-128-cbc-hmac-sha1, then B<-mb> will time multi-buffer operation.
+
+=item B<-decrypt>
+
+Time the decryption instead of encryption. Affects only the EVP testing.
+
+=item B<-rand file...>
+
+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 B<;> for MS-Windows, B<,> for OpenVMS, and B<:> for
+all others.
+
+=item [B<-writerand file>]
+
+Writes random data to the specified I<file> upon exit.
+This can be used with a subsequent B<-rand> flag.
+
+=item B<-primes num>
+
+Generate a B<num>-prime RSA key and use it to run the benchmarks. This option
+is only effective if RSA algorithm is specified to test.
+
+=item B<-seconds num>
+
+Run benchmarks for B<num> seconds.
+
+=item B<-bytes num>
+
+Run benchmarks on B<num>-byte buffers. Affects ciphers, digests and the CSPRNG.
+
+=item B<[zero or more test algorithms]>
+
+If any options are given, B<speed> tests those algorithms, otherwise a
+pre-compiled grand selection is tested.
