35=head1 DESCRIPTION
36
37This command processes CRL files in DER or PEM format.
38
39=head1 OPTIONS
40
41=over 4
42
43=item B<-help>
44
45Print out a usage message.
46
47=item B<-inform> B<DER>|B<PEM>
48
49The CRL input format; unspecified by default.
50See L<openssl-format-options(1)> for details.
51
52=item B<-outform> B<DER>|B<PEM>
53
54The CRL output format; the default is B<PEM>.
55See L<openssl-format-options(1)> for details.
56
57=item B<-key> I<filename>
58
59The private key to be used to sign the CRL.
60
61=item B<-keyform> B<DER>|B<PEM>|B<P12>
62
63The format of the private key file; unspecified by default.
64See L<openssl-format-options(1)> for details.
65
66=item B<-in> I<filename>
67
68This specifies the input filename to read from or standard input if this
69option is not specified.
70
71=item B<-out> I<filename>
72
73Specifies the output filename to write to or standard output by
74default.
75
76=item B<-gendelta> I<filename>
77
78Output a comparison of the main CRL and the one specified here.
79
80=item B<-badsig>
81
82Corrupt the signature before writing it; this can be useful
83for testing.
84
85=item B<-dateopt>
86
87Specify the date output format. Values are: rfc_822 and iso_8601.
88Defaults to rfc_822.
89
90=item B<-text>
91
92Print out the CRL in text form.
93
94=item B<-verify>
95
96Verify the signature in the CRL.
97
98=item B<-noout>
99
100Don't output the encoded version of the CRL.
101
102=item B<-fingerprint>
103
104Output the fingerprint of the CRL.
105
106=item B<-crlnumber>
107
108Output the number of the CRL.
109
110=item B<-hash>
111
112Output a hash of the issuer name. This can be use to lookup CRLs in
113a directory by issuer name.
114
115=item B<-hash_old>
116
117Outputs the "hash" of the CRL issuer name using the older algorithm
118as used by OpenSSL before version 1.0.0.
119
120=item B<-issuer>
121
122Output the issuer name.
123
124=item B<-lastupdate>
125
126Output the lastUpdate field.
127
128=item B<-nextupdate>
129
130Output the nextUpdate field.

140=head1 EXAMPLES
141
142Convert a CRL file from PEM to DER:
143
144 openssl crl -in crl.pem -outform DER -out crl.der
145
146Output the text form of a DER encoded certificate:
147
148 openssl crl -in crl.der -text -noout
149
150=head1 BUGS
151
152Ideally it should be possible to create a CRL using appropriate options
153and files too.
