-     'openssl no-XXX' returns with exit code 0 iff the command XXX is

+  *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
+     'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
+     returns with exit code 0 iff a command of the given name is available.
+     'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise.  In both cases,
      the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
      Additional arguments are always ignored.

+     as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
