NAME
       test-tls-connection -- Tests TLS	connection to a	remote endpoint

SYNOPSIS
       test-tls-connection host:port ca_certificate_file
			   [-scertificate_file--save-certificatecertificate_file]
			   [-n | --no-view-certificate]
			   [-c | --no-check-certificate]
			   [-- openssl_args ...]
       test-tls-connection [-h | --help]

DESCRIPTION
       test-tls-connection tests TLS connection	to a remote endpoint. The cer-
       tificate	provided by the	remote endpoint	can be	verified  (by  calling
       check-certificate)  or  only displayed (by using	view-certificate). Op-
       tionally, it can	also be	saved as PEM file.

ARGUMENTS
       The following options are available:

       host:port
	       Specifies hostname or IP	address, and TCP port  number  of  the
	       remote endpoint to connect to.

       ca_certificate_file
	       Specifies  the  CA certificate to verify	the certificate	of the
	       remote endpoint.

       -s certificate_file | --save-certificate	certificate_file
	       Specifies a file	name to	store the certificate  of  the	remote
	       endpoint	(as PEM	file).

       -- openssl_args ...
	       Specifies  optional  OpenSSL  arguments.	All arguments after --
	       are passed to OpenSSL.

       -n | --no-view-certificate
	       Do not run view-certificate on the received certificate of  the
	       remote endpoint.

       -c | --no-check-certificate
	       Do not run check-certificate on the received certificate	of the
	       remote endpoint.

       -h | --help
	       Prints command-line parameters.
