Subject: Document pkcs12 -password behavior
X-Git-Tag: OpenSSL_1_0_1g~33
X-Git-Url: https://git.librecmc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c76e5b08a151a48fde67b2d3e6fe54ae8af901d7;p=oweals%2Fopenssl.git

Document pkcs12 -password behavior

apps/pkcs12.c accepts -password as an argument.  The document author
almost certainly meant to write "-password, -passin".

However, that is not correct, either.  Actually the code treats
-password as equivalent to -passin, EXCEPT when -export is also
specified, in which case -password as equivalent to -passout.
(cherry picked from commit 856c6dfb09d69fc82ada2611c6cd792dfc60e355)
