 #REGTEST_TYPE=devel
 
 # This reg-test uses the "set ssl ca-file" command to update a CA file over the CLI.
+# It also tests the "abort ssl ca-file" command.
 #
 # It is based on two CA certificates, set_cafile_interCA1.crt and set_cafile_interCA2.crt,
 # and a client certificate that was signed with set_cafile_interCA1.crt (set_cafile_client.pem)
