.Nm mk-ca-bundle
.Nd convert mozilla's certdata.txt to PEM format

.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl bilnqtuv
[outputfile]
2012-04-28 01:49:40 +08:00
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
tool downloads the certdata.txt file from Mozilla's source tree over HTTP,
then parses certdata.txt and extracts CA Root Certificates into PEM format.
2012-04-28 01:49:40 +08:00
These are then processed with the OpenSSL commandline tool to produce the
final ca-bundle file.
The default \fIoutputfile\fP name is \fBca-bundle.crt\fP. By setting it to '-'
(a single dash) you will get the output sent to STDOUT instead of a file.
The PEM format this scripts uses for output makes the result readily available
for use by just about all OpenSSL or GnuTLS powered applications, such as
curl, wget and more.
