This is a new command for 3.0, so no compatibility issues.

(I kinda wish this and version were one command.)

OpenSSL commands don't do that

Er, so? openssl version has short commands, I was thinking that for the things that exist in both this and that, it is nice with some compatible options.

(I kinda wish this and version were one command.)

Yeah well. Quite a lot of the info has nothing to do with versions per se, and openssl version is much too verbose for practice use with scripts. openssl info is primarily designed for them.

Consistency is important. You should either have just short commands, like version, or have just long commands. I prefer just short commands. Shall I change this?

openssl enc has -a and -base64 meaning the same thing, FYI. But ok, that was the only already existing example I could find.

I disagree with you regarding this design choice (not bug), but if I must choose only one, then I'll go for the long options. There's a reason I didn't assign short options to everything, I ran out of reasonable letter that weren't already taken. Besides, almost all our sub-commands (I think only tsget and version use short options throughout) use long options, so if you want to be consistent, that's something to draw on.

Well, we can't change the existing programs and I think adding aliases is going to cause problems. And tsget was never a model of good OpenSSL integration :) I am sorry if I insulted you by saying "bug" I hope it helps that lines 2 and 3 of the commit pointed out real bugs.

This is ready, can it get merged soon? I will have to retrofit these changes into #9953.

Done

0773687 Fix bugs in "info" commands flags

Oh damn... as I hit submit, I noticed Travis had a red cross. Eh well

I'll fix any issues ASAP within an hour or two if you don't beat me too it. I am hoping "Travis failures are unrelated" to coin a phrase :)

False alarm, it was just a timeout: https://travis-ci.org/openssl/openssl/jobs/588543043
