"openssl rehash" is not a wrapper for "c_rehash".  This command is
available for all Unix-like platforms.

https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/apps/rehash.c

"c_rehash" is not a wrapper for "openssl rehash", either.  For Unix-like
platforms, it is only provided as a backup.

https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/tools/c_rehash.in

I guess they just forgot to add "functionally" in front of "equivalent". ;-)
