crl(1ssl)
NAME
  crl - CRL utility

SYNOPSIS
  openssl crl [-inform PEM | DER] [-outform PEM | DER] [-text] [-in filename]
  [-out filename] [-noout] [-hash] [-issuer] [-lastupdate] [-nextupdate]
  [-CAfile file] [-CApath dir]

OPTIONS
  -inform DER|PEM
	  Specifies the input format. The DER format is DER encoded CRL
	  structure. The PEM format (the default) is a base64 encoded version
	  of the DER form with header and footer lines.

  -outform DER|PEM
	  Specifies the output format. The options have the same meaning as
	  the -inform option.

  -in filename
	  Specifies the input filename to read from or standard input if this
	  option is not specified.

  -out filename
	  Specifies the output filename to write to or standard output by
	  default.

  -text	  Prints out the CRL in text form.

  -noout  Does not output the encoded version of the CRL.

  -hash	  Outputs a hash of the issuer name. This can be used to lookup CRLs
	  in a directory by issuer name.

  -issuer Outputs the issuer name.

  -lastupdate
	  Outputs the lastupdate field.

  -nextupdate
	  Outputs the nextupdate field.

  -CAfile file
	  Verifies the signature on a CRL by looking up the issuing
	  certificate in file

  -CApath dir
	  Verifies the signature on a CRL by looking up the issuing
	  certificate in dir. This directory must be a standard certificate
	  directory; that is, a hash of each subject name (using x509 -hash)
	  should be linked to each certificate.

DESCRIPTION
  The crl command processes CRL files in DER or PEM format.

NOTES
  The PEM CRL format uses the header and footer lines:

	-----BEGIN X509 CRL-----
	-----END X509 CRL-----

RESTRICTIONS
  Ideally it should be possible to create a CRL using appropriate options and
  files.

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 -text -noout
