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. If the verification fails,
97the program will immediately exit, i.e. further option processing
98(e.g. B<-gendelta>) is skipped.
99
100This option is implicitly enabled if any of B<-CApath>, B<-CAfile>
101or B<-CAstore> is specified.
102
103=item B<-noout>
104
105Don't output the encoded version of the CRL.
106
107=item B<-fingerprint>
108
109Output the fingerprint of the CRL.
110
111=item B<-crlnumber>
112
113Output the number of the CRL.
114
115=item B<-hash>
116
117Output a hash of the issuer name. This can be use to lookup CRLs in
118a directory by issuer name.
119
120=item B<-hash_old>
121
122Outputs the "hash" of the CRL issuer name using the older algorithm
123as used by OpenSSL before version 1.0.0.
124
125=item B<-issuer>
126
127Output the issuer name.
128
129=item B<-lastupdate>
130
131Output the lastUpdate field.
132
133=item B<-nextupdate>
134
135Output the nextUpdate field.

144
145=head1 EXAMPLES
146
147Convert a CRL file from PEM to DER:
148
149 openssl crl -in crl.pem -outform DER -out crl.der
150
151Output the text form of a DER encoded certificate:
152
153 openssl crl -in crl.der -text -noout
154
155=head1 BUGS
156
157Ideally it should be possible to create a CRL using appropriate options
158and files too.
