NAME
       crl - CRL utility

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

OPTIONS
       Specifies  the  input  format. The DER format is DER encoded CRL struc‐
       ture. The PEM format (the default) is a base64 encoded version  of  the
       DER  form  with	header and footer lines.  Specifies the output format.
       The options have the same meaning as the -inform option.	 Specifies the
       input  filename	to  read  from or standard input if this option is not
       specified.  Specifies the output filename to write to or standard  out‐
       put  by default.	 Prints out the CRL in text form.  Does not output the
       encoded version of the CRL.  Outputs a hash of the  issuer  name.  This
       can  be used to lookup CRLs in a directory by issuer name.  Outputs the
       issuer name.  Outputs the lastupdate  field.   Outputs  the  nextupdate
       field.	Verifies the signature on a CRL by looking up the issuing cer‐
       tificate in file Verifies the signature on a  CRL  by  looking  up  the
       issuing	certificate in dir. This directory must be a standard certifi‐
       cate 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
