.UC
.SH "NAME"
crl \- \s-1CRL\s0 utility

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBcrl\fR command processes \s-1CRL\s0 files in \s-1DER\s0 or \s-1PEM\s0 format.
.SH "COMMAND OPTIONS"
.IX Header "COMMAND OPTIONS"
.Ip "\fB\-inform DER|PEM\fR" 4
.IX Item "-inform DER|PEM"
This specifies the input format. \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR format is \s-1DER\s0 encoded \s-1CRL\s0
structure. \fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR (the default) is a base64 encoded version of
the \s-1DER\s0 form with header and footer lines.
.Ip "\fB\-outform DER|PEM\fR" 4
.IX Item "-outform DER|PEM"
This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning as the 
\&\fB\-inform\fR option.
.Ip "\fB\-in filename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-in filename"
This specifies the input filename to read from or standard input if this
option is not specified.
.Ip "\fB\-out filename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-out filename"
specifies the output filename to write to or standard output by
default.
.Ip "\fB\-text\fR" 4
.IX Item "-text"
print out the \s-1CRL\s0 in text form.
.Ip "\fB\-noout\fR" 4
.IX Item "-noout"
don't output the encoded version of the \s-1CRL\s0.
.Ip "\fB\-hash\fR" 4
.IX Item "-hash"
output a hash of the issuer name. This can be use to lookup CRLs in
a directory by issuer name.
.Ip "\fB\-issuer\fR" 4
.IX Item "-issuer"
output the issuer name.
.Ip "\fB\-lastupdate\fR" 4
.IX Item "-lastupdate"
output the lastUpdate field.
.Ip "\fB\-nextupdate\fR" 4
.IX Item "-nextupdate"
output the nextUpdate field.
.Ip "\fB\-CAfile file\fR" 4
.IX Item "-CAfile file"
verify the signature on a \s-1CRL\s0 by looking up the issuing certificate in
\&\fBfile\fR
.Ip "\fB\-CApath dir\fR" 4
.IX Item "-CApath dir"
verify the signature on a \s-1CRL\s0 by looking up the issuing certificate in
\&\fBdir\fR. This directory must be a standard certificate directory: that
is a hash of each subject name (using \fBx509 \-hash\fR) should be linked
to each certificate.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The \s-1PEM\s0 \s-1CRL\s0 format uses the header and footer lines:
.PP
.Vb 2
\& -----BEGIN X509 CRL-----
\& -----END X509 CRL-----
.Ve
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
Convert a \s-1CRL\s0 file from \s-1PEM\s0 to \s-1DER:\s0
.PP
.Vb 1
\& openssl crl -in crl.pem -outform DER -out crl.der
.Ve
Output the text form of a \s-1DER\s0 encoded certificate:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& openssl crl -in crl.der -text -noout
.Ve
.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
Ideally it should be possible to create a \s-1CRL\s0 using appropriate options
and files too.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
