-The purpose of these parameters is to allow optional parameters to be supplied
-to L<openssl(1)> that this command executes. The B<-extra-cmd> are specific to
-the option being used and the L<openssl(1)> command getting invoked. For example
-when this command invokes L<openssl-req(1)> extra parameters can be passed on
-with the B<-extra-req> parameter. The
-L<openssl(1)> commands being invoked per option are documented below.
+For each option B<extra-I<cmd>>, pass I<extra-params> to the L<openssl(1)>
+sub-command with the same name as I<cmd>, if that sub-command is invoked.
+For example, if L<openssl-req(1)> is invoked, the I<extra-params> given with
+B<-extra-req> will be passed to it.
Users should consult L<openssl(1)> command documentation for more information.
