=head1 NAME
openssl-nseq - create or examine a Netscape certificate sequence
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<openssl> B<nseq>
[B<-help>]
[B<-in> I<filename>]
[B<-out> I<filename>]
[B<-toseq>]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This command takes a file containing a Netscape certificate
sequence and prints out the certificates contained in it or takes a
file of certificates and converts it into a Netscape certificate
sequence.
A Netscape certificate sequence is an old Netscape-specific format that
can be sometimes be sent to browsers as an alternative to the standard PKCS#7
format when several certificates are sent to the browser, for example during
certificate enrollment. It was also used by Netscape certificate server.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-help>
Print out a usage message.
=item B<-in> I<filename>
This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this
option is not specified.
=item B<-out> I<filename>
Specifies the output filename or standard output by default.
=item B<-toseq>
Normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the output
is the certificates contained in it. With the B<-toseq> option the
situation is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is created from
a file of certificates.
=back
=head1 EXAMPLES
Output the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence
openssl nseq -in nseq.pem -out certs.pem
Create a Netscape certificate sequence
openssl nseq -in certs.pem -toseq -out nseq.pem
