=head1 NAME
crl - CRL utility
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<openssl> B<crl>
[B<-inform PEM|DER>]
[B<-outform PEM|DER>]
[B<-text>]
[B<-in filename>]
[B<-out filename>]
[B<-noout>]
[B<-hash>]
[B<-issuer>]
[B<-lastupdate>]
[B<-nextupdate>]
[B<-CAfile file>]
[B<-CApath dir>]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<crl> command processes CRL files in DER or PEM format.
=head1 COMMAND OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-inform DER|PEM>
This specifies the input format. B<DER> format is DER encoded CRL
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 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<-text>
print out the CRL in text form.
=item B<-noout>
don't output the encoded version of the CRL.
=item B<-hash>
output a hash of the issuer name. This can be use to lookup CRLs in
a directory by issuer name.
=item B<-issuer>
output the issuer name.
=item B<-lastupdate>
output the lastUpdate field.
=item B<-nextupdate>
output the nextUpdate field.
=item B<-CAfile file>
verify the signature on a CRL by looking up the issuing certificate in
B<file>
=item B<-CApath dir>
verify the signature on a CRL by looking up the issuing certificate in
B<dir>. This directory must be a standard certificate directory: that
is a hash of each subject name (using B<x509 -hash>) should be linked
to each certificate.
=back
=head1 EXAMPLES
Convert a CRL file from PEM to DER:
openssl crl -in crl.pem -outform DER -out crl.der
Output the text form of a DER encoded certificate:
openssl crl -in crl.der -text -noout
=head1 BUGS
Ideally it should be possible to create a CRL using appropriate options
and files too.
