Duplicate openssl dgst -sha256 -sign private.pem -out sha256.sig in.dat

See more OpenSSL Examples

Demonstrates how to duplicate this OpenSSL command:
openssl dgst -sha256 -sign private.pem -out sha256.sig in.dat
The in.dat file can contain text or binary data of any type. The OpenSSL command does the following:
  1. Creates a SHA256 digest of the contents of the input file
  2. Signs the SHA256 digest using the private key.
