The documentation of OpenSSL 1.1.x does not mention "ECDHParameters",
only "Curves" is documented as a synonym of "Groups".

The 1.0.2 documentation for "ECDHParameters" explains that this is
server-side setting to select a particular *fixed* ECDHE curve.
This is a legacy feature that predates negotiation of the curve
used based on the client's extension.
