+ \c{\b{openssl-client --help}\n
+ \b{openssl-client --version}\n
+ \b{openssl-client} rsautl [<options>]}
+
+ \h|DESCRIPTION|
+
+ The \cb{rsautl} command is a drop-in replacement for the
+ \cb{openssl-rsautl(1)} cryptographic operations. Instead of performing
+ the operations itself, it forwards the request to an OpenSSL key agent
+ that keeps the private key unlocked for the session.
+
+ Currently, data signing with a private key stored in a \cb{PKCS#11}
+ token is the only supported arrangement. This limits the
+ \cb{openssl-rsautl(1)} options and values to the following usage:
+
+ \
+ $ openssl-client rsautl -sign -keyform engine -engine pkcs11 -inkey pkcs11:...
+ \
+
+ This command reads data from \cb{stdin}, asks
+ \cb{openssl-agent-pkcs11(1)} to sign it using the specified unlocked
+ private key, and prints the resulting signature to \cb{stdout}.
+
+ The command can be simulated without actually performing any
+ cryptographic operations. If the \cb{--simulate} option is specified
+ with the \cb{success} outcome, then the command prints a dummy signature
+ produced by the agent and exits with zero status. The \cb{failure}
+ outcome causes it to print the diagnostics to \cb{stderr} and exit with
+ non-zero status. This mode is mostly useful for OpenSSL key agents
+ testing.
