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 NAME
openssl-crl2pkcs7 - Create a PKCS#7 structure from a CRL and certificates
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<openssl> B<crl2pkcs7>
[B<-help>]
[B<-inform> B<DER>|B<PEM>]
[B<-outform> B<DER>|B<PEM>]
[B<-in> I<filename>]
[B<-out> I<filename>]
[B<-certfile> I<filename>]
[B<-nocrl>]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This command takes an optional CRL and one or more
certificates and converts them into a PKCS#7 degenerate "certificates
only" structure.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-help>
Print out a usage message.
=item B<-inform> B<DER>|B<PEM>
This specifies the CRL 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. The default format is PEM.
=item B<-outform> B<DER>|B<PEM>
This specifies the PKCS#7 structure output format. B<DER> format is DER
encoded PKCS#7 structure.B<PEM> (the default) is a base64 encoded version of
the DER form with header and footer lines. The default format is PEM.
=item B<-in> I<filename>
This specifies the input filename to read a CRL from or standard input if this
option is not specified.
=item B<-out> I<filename>
Specifies the output filename to write the PKCS#7 structure to or standard
output by default.
=item B<-certfile> I<filename>
Specifies a filename containing one or more certificates in B<PEM> format.
All certificates in the file will be added to the PKCS#7 structure. This
option can be used more than once to read certificates form multiple
files.
=item B<-nocrl>
Normally a CRL is included in the output file. With this option no CRL is
included in the output file and a CRL is not read from the input file.
=back
=head1 EXAMPLES
Create a PKCS#7 structure from a certificate and CRL:
openssl crl2pkcs7 -in crl.pem -certfile cert.pem -out p7.pem
Creates a PKCS#7 structure in DER format with no CRL from several
different certificates:
openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile newcert.pem
-certfile demoCA/cacert.pem -outform DER -out p7.der
=head1 NOTES
The output file is a PKCS#7 signed data structure containing no signers and
just certificates and an optional CRL.
This command can be used to send certificates and CAs to Netscape as part of
the certificate enrollment process. This involves sending the DER encoded output
as MIME type application/x-x509-user-cert.
The B<PEM> encoded form with the header and footer lines removed can be used to
install user certificates and CAs in MSIE using the Xenroll control.
