NAME
openssl-pkcs7 - PKCS#7 command
SYNOPSIS
openssl pkcs7 [-help] [-inform DER|PEM] [-outform DER|PEM] [-in filename] [-out filename] [-print] [-print_certs] [-text] [-noout] [-engine id] [-provider name] [-provider-path path] [-propquery propq]
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.
OPTIONS
-help Print out a usage message. -inform DER|PEM, -outform DER|PEM The input and formats; the default is PEM. See openssl-format-options(1) for details. The data is a PKCS#7 Version 1.5 structure. -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 Print out the full PKCS7 object. -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 certificate details in full rather than just subject and issuer names. -noout Don't output the encoded version of the PKCS#7 structure (or certificates if -print_certs is set). -engine id See "Engine Options" in openssl(1). This option is deprecated. -provider name -provider-path path -propquery propq See "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).
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
