NAME
       vfychain_ - vfychain [options] [revocation options] certfile [[options]
       certfile] ...
SYNOPSIS

STATUS
       This documentation is still work in progress. Please contribute to the
       initial review in Mozilla NSS bug 836477[1]
DESCRIPTION
       The verification Tool, vfychain, verifies certificate chains.  modutil
       can add and delete PKCS #11 modules, change passwords on security
       databases, set defaults, list module contents, enable or disable slots,
       enable or disable FIPS 140-2 compliance, and assign default providers
       for cryptographic operations. This tool can also create certificate,
       key, and module security database files.
       The tasks associated with security module database management are part
       of a process that typically also involves managing key databases and
       certificate databases.
OPTIONS
       -a
           the following certfile is base64 encoded
       -b  YYMMDDHHMMZ
           Validate date (default: now)
       -d  directory
           database directory
       -f
           Enable cert fetching from AIA URL
       -o  oid
           Set policy OID for cert validation(Format OID.1.2.3)
       -p
           Use PKIX Library to validate certificate by calling:
           * CERT_VerifyCertificate if specified once,
           * CERT_PKIXVerifyCert if specified twice and more.
       -r
           Following certfile is raw binary DER (default)
       -t
           Following cert is explicitly trusted (overrides db trust)
       -u  usage
           0=SSL client, 1=SSL server, 2=SSL StepUp, 3=SSL CA, 4=Email signer,
           5=Email recipient, 6=Object signer, 9=ProtectedObjectSigner,
           10=OCSP responder, 11=Any CA
       -T
           Trust both explicit trust anchors (-t) and the database. (Without
           this option, the default is to only trust certificates marked -t,
           if there are any, or to trust the database if there are
           certificates marked -t.)
       -v
           Verbose mode. Prints root cert subject(double the argument for
           whole root cert info)
       -w  password
           Database password
       -W  pwfile
           Password file
           Revocation options for PKIX API (invoked with -pp options) is a
           collection of the following flags: [-g type [-h flags] [-m type [-s
           flags]] ...] ...
           Where:
       -g  test-type
           Sets status checking test type. Possible values are "leaf" or
           "chain"
       -g  test type
           Sets status checking test type. Possible values are "leaf" or
           "chain".
       -h  test flags
           Sets revocation flags for the test type it follows. Possible flags:
           "testLocalInfoFirst" and "requireFreshInfo".
       -m  method type
           Sets method type for the test type it follows. Possible types are
           "crl" and "ocsp".
       -s  method flags
           Sets revocation flags for the method it follows. Possible types are
           "doNotUse", "forbidFetching", "ignoreDefaultSrc", "requireInfo" and
           "failIfNoInfo".
