=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.
=back
=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
