[openssl-dev] wiki update for enc command

[Salz, Rich]

That whole “Manual:” thing on the wiki should probably go away and just refer to the website which gets updated every time we change things.

Can you open an issue for the manpage bug you found?

Thanks!

HI,

FYI, the page at https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Manual:Enc(1)<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__wiki.openssl.org_index.php_Manual-3AEnc-281-29&d=DwMFAw&c=96ZbZZcaMF4w0F4jpN6LZg&r=4LM0GbR0h9Fvx86FtsKI-w&m=2CdH8l3BV3YKkVdvRWdLf1d4r-2VAj5WeRcxulKZVjk&s=LC6ycPS9CG7W9OkMLuKFgorzUGAwd5b9ledi37QqIG0&e=> read options –salt and –nosalt twice.

I believe it would be better to remove the first –salt section and the second –nosalt section.

Also the statement in the NOTES : “When the salt is being used the first eight bytes of the encrypted data are reserved for the salt” is wrong.
It’s a 16 bytes header including the ‘magic’ “Salted__”.
(the same applies to : https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.0/apps/enc.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.openssl.org_docs_man1.1.0_apps_enc.html&d=DwMFAw&c=96ZbZZcaMF4w0F4jpN6LZg&r=4LM0GbR0h9Fvx86FtsKI-w&m=2CdH8l3BV3YKkVdvRWdLf1d4r-2VAj5WeRcxulKZVjk&s=dIkOveoHbr3iWpWB-gN1aVAsT-yLHeTV4n3wjWwIpmM&e=>)
