openssl-pkcs7 - PKCS#7 utility

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<openssl> B<pkcs7>
[B<-help>]
[B<-inform> B<DER>|B<PEM>]
[B<-outform> B<DER>|B<PEM>]
[B<-in> I<filename>]
[B<-out> I<filename>]

[B<-text>]
[B<-noout>]
[B<-engine> I<id>]

=for openssl ifdef engine

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This command processes PKCS#7 files.  Note that it only understands PKCS#7
v 1.5 as specified in IETF RFC 2315.  It cannot currently parse CMS as
described in IETF RFC 2630.

There is no option to print out all the fields of a PKCS#7 file.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<-help>

Print out a usage message.

=item B<-inform> B<DER>|B<PEM>, B<-outform> B<DER>|B<PEM>

The input and formats; the default is B<PEM>.
See L<openssl(1)/Format Options> for details.

The data is a PKCS#7 Version 1.5 structure.

=item B<-in> I<filename>

This specifies the input filename to read from or standard input if this
option is not specified.

=item B<-out> I<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> I<id>

Specifying an engine (by its unique I<id> string) will cause this command
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
