|  | =head1 NAME | 
|  |  | 
|  | openssl-pkcs7, | 
|  | pkcs7 - PKCS#7 utility | 
|  |  | 
|  | =head1 SYNOPSIS | 
|  |  | 
|  | B<openssl> B<pkcs7> | 
|  | [B<-help>] | 
|  | [B<-inform PEM|DER>] | 
|  | [B<-outform PEM|DER>] | 
|  | [B<-in filename>] | 
|  | [B<-out filename>] | 
|  | [B<-print_certs>] | 
|  | [B<-text>] | 
|  | [B<-noout>] | 
|  | [B<-engine id>] | 
|  |  | 
|  | =head1 DESCRIPTION | 
|  |  | 
|  | The B<pkcs7> command processes PKCS#7 files in DER or PEM format. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =head1 OPTIONS | 
|  |  | 
|  | =over 4 | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-help> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Print out a usage message. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-inform DER|PEM> | 
|  |  | 
|  | This specifies the input format. B<DER> format is DER encoded PKCS#7 | 
|  | v1.5 structure.B<PEM> (the default) is a base64 encoded version of | 
|  | the DER form with header and footer lines. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-outform DER|PEM> | 
|  |  | 
|  | This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning and default | 
|  | as the B<-inform> option. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-in filename> | 
|  |  | 
|  | This specifies the input filename to read from or standard input if this | 
|  | option is not specified. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-out filename> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Specifies the output filename to write to or standard output by | 
|  | default. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-print_certs> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Prints out any certificates or CRLs contained in the file. They are | 
|  | preceded by their subject and issuer names in one line format. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-text> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Prints out certificates details in full rather than just subject and | 
|  | issuer names. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-noout> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Don't output the encoded version of the PKCS#7 structure (or certificates | 
|  | is B<-print_certs> is set). | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<-engine id> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Specifying an engine (by its unique B<id> string) will cause B<pkcs7> | 
|  | to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine, | 
|  | thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default | 
|  | for all available algorithms. | 
|  |  |

|  |  | 
|  | =head1 EXAMPLES | 
|  |  | 
|  | Convert a PKCS#7 file from PEM to DER: | 
|  |  | 
|  | openssl pkcs7 -in file.pem -outform DER -out file.der | 
|  |  | 
|  | Output all certificates in a file: | 
|  |  | 
|  | openssl pkcs7 -in file.pem -print_certs -out certs.pem | 
|  |  | 
|  | =head1 NOTES | 
|  |  | 
|  | The PEM PKCS#7 format uses the header and footer lines: | 
|  |  | 
|  | -----BEGIN PKCS7----- | 
|  | -----END PKCS7----- | 
|  |  | 
|  | For compatibility with some CAs it will also accept: | 
|  |  | 
|  | -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- | 
|  | -----END CERTIFICATE----- | 
|  |  | 
|  | =head1 RESTRICTIONS | 
|  |  | 
|  | There is no option to print out all the fields of a PKCS#7 file. | 
|  |  | 
|  | This PKCS#7 routines only understand PKCS#7 v 1.5 as specified in RFC2315 they | 
|  | cannot currently parse, for example, the new CMS as described in RFC2630. |
