NSEQ(1)                             OpenSSL                            NSEQ(1)

NAME
       nseq - create or examine a netscape certificate sequence
SYNOPSIS
       openssl nseq [-in filename] [-out filename] [-toseq]
DESCRIPTION
       The nseq 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.
COMMAND OPTIONS
       -in filename
           This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this
           option is not specified.
       -out filename
           specifies the output filename or standard output by default.
       -toseq
           normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the
           output is the certificates contained in it. With the -toseq option
           the situation is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is
           created from a file of certificates.
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
NOTES
       The PEM encoded form uses the same headers and footers as a
       certificate:
        -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
        -----END CERTIFICATE-----
       A Netscape certificate sequence is a Netscape specific form that can 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 is used by Netscape certificate server for
       example.
BUGS
       This program needs a few more options: like allowing DER or PEM input
       and output files and allowing multiple certificate files to be used.
