PKCS7(1)                            OpenSSL                           PKCS7(1)
NAME
       openssl-pkcs7, pkcs7 - PKCS#7 utility
SYNOPSIS
       openssl pkcs7 [-help] [-inform PEM|DER] [-outform PEM|DER] [-in
       filename] [-out filename] [-print_certs] [-text] [-noout] [-engine id]
DESCRIPTION
       The pkcs7 command processes PKCS#7 files in DER or PEM format.
OPTIONS
       -help
           Print out a usage message.
       -inform DER|PEM
           This specifies the input format. DER format is DER encoded PKCS#7
           v1.5 structure.PEM (the default) is a base64 encoded version of the
           DER form with header and footer lines.
       -outform DER|PEM
           This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning
           and default as the -inform option.
       -in filename
           This 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.
       -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.
       -text
           Prints out certificates details in full rather than just subject
           and issuer names.
       -noout
           Don't output the encoded version of the PKCS#7 structure (or
           certificates is -print_certs is set).
       -engine id
           Specifying an engine (by its unique id string) will cause pkcs7 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.
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
NOTES
       The PEM PKCS#7 format uses the header and footer lines:
        -----BEGIN PKCS7-----
        -----END PKCS7-----
       For compatibility with some CAs it will also accept:
        -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
        -----END CERTIFICATE-----
RESTRICTIONS
       There is no option to print out all the fields of a PKCS#7 file.
       This PKCS#7 routines only understand PKCS#7 v 1.5 as specified in
       RFC2315 they cannot currently parse, for example, the new CMS as
       described in RFC2630.
