The OpenSSL standard commands can be listed via

$ openssl list-standard-commands

In later versions of OpenSSL standard commands can be listed via

$ openssl list -commands

Besides there are also cipher commands and message-digest commands. You can use these like

$ openssl command [options]

The Options heavily depend on the command. Please consult the dedicated pages or use

$ openssl command -help


For a commented list of standard commands see Command Line Utilities#Standard Commands.
