Richard Levitte 35a810bb1d Command docs: fix up command references
Almost all OpenSSL commands are in reality 'openssl cmd', so make sure
they are refered to like that and not just as the sub-command.

Self-references are avoided as much as is possible, and replaced with
"this command".  In some cases, we even avoid that with a slight
rewrite of the sentence or paragrah they were in.  However, in the few
cases where a self-reference is still admissible, they are done in
bold, i.e. openssl-speed.pod references itself like this:

    B<openssl speed>

References to other commands are done as manual links, i.e. CA.pl.pod
references 'openssl req' like this: L<openssl-req(1)>

Some commands are examples rather than references; we enclose those in
C<>.

While we are it, we abolish "utility", replacing it with "command", or
remove it entirely in some cases.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
This command processes CRL files in DER or PEM format.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-help>
Print out a usage message.
=item B<-inform> B<DER>|B<PEM>
This specifies the input format. B<DER> format is DER encoded CRL
structure. B<PEM> (the default) is a base64 encoded version of
the DER form with header and footer lines.
=item B<-outform> B<DER>|B<PEM>
This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning and default
as the B<-inform> option.
=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<-text>
Print out the CRL in text form.
=item B<-nameopt> I<option>
Option which determines how the subject or issuer names are displayed. See
the description of B<-nameopt> in L<x509(1)>.
=item B<-noout>
Don't output the encoded version of the CRL.
=item B<-hash>
Output a hash of the issuer name. This can be use to lookup CRLs in
a directory by issuer name.
=item B<-hash_old>
Outputs the "hash" of the CRL issuer name using the older algorithm
as used by OpenSSL before version 1.0.0.
=item B<-issuer>
Output the issuer name.
=item B<-lastupdate>
Output the lastUpdate field.
=item B<-nextupdate>
Output the nextUpdate field.
=item B<-CAfile> I<file>
Verify the signature on a CRL by looking up the issuing certificate in
I<file>.
=item B<-CApath> I<dir>
Verify the signature on a CRL by looking up the issuing certificate in
I<dir>. This directory must be a standard certificate directory: that
is a hash of each subject name (using the L<openssl-x509(1)> B<-hash> option)
should be linked to each certificate.
=back
=head1 NOTES
The PEM CRL format uses the header and footer lines:
-----BEGIN X509 CRL-----
-----END X509 CRL-----
=head1 EXAMPLES
Convert a CRL file from PEM to DER:
openssl crl -in crl.pem -outform DER -out crl.der
Output the text form of a DER encoded certificate:
openssl crl -in crl.der -inform DER -text -noout
=head1 BUGS
Ideally it should be possible to create a CRL using appropriate options
and files too.
