I assume the documetation about the 2nd and 3rd line is written for the
openss enc command with the option -p.

from `openssl enc -h`:
    -p                  Print the iv/key

example:
  openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -in /tmp/test -out /tmp/test.enc -K `openssl rand -hex 32` -iv `openssl rand -hex 16` -p
  salt=C169F1C114560000
  key=66EBC15025E9B4D0D455A8805E2B51EF4A155B216729AF986305AC7E76B65C4F
  iv =EB79A2D4BB540033E91960DAAA445BC3
