gnutls-cli-debug(1) User Commands gnutls-cli-debug(1) NAME gnutls-cli-debug - GnuTLS debug client SYNOPSIS gnutls-cli-debug [-flags] [-flag [value]] [--option-name[[=| ]value]] [hostname] Operands and options may be intermixed. They will be reordered. DESCRIPTION TLS debug client. It sets up multiple TLS connections to a server and queries its capabilities. It was created to assist in debugging GnuTLS, but it might be useful to extract a TLS server's capabilities. It connects to a TLS server, performs tests and print the server's capabilities. If called with the `-V' parameter more checks will be performed. Can be used to check for servers with special needs or bugs. OPTIONS -d num, --debug=num Enable debugging. This option takes an integer number as its argument. The value of num is constrained to being: in the range 0 through 9999 Specifies the debug level. -V, --verbose More verbose output. -p num, --port=num The port to connect to. This option takes an integer number as its argument. The value of num is constrained to being: in the range 0 through 65536 --app-proto This is an alias for the --starttls-proto option. --starttls-proto=str The application protocol to be used to obtain the server's certificate (https, ftp, smtp, imap, ldap, xmpp, lmtp, pop3, nntp, sieve, postgres). Specify the application layer protocol for STARTTLS. If the protocol is supported, gnutls-cli will proceed to the TLS negotiation. --attime=timestamp Perform validation at the timestamp instead of the sys- tem time. timestamp is an instance in time encoded as Unix time or in a human readable timestring such as "29 Feb 2004", "2004-02-29". Full documenta- tion available at <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/man- ual/html_node/Date-input-formats.html> or locally via info '(coreutils) date invocation'. -v arg, --version=arg Output version of program and exit. The default mode is `v', a simple version. The `c' mode will print copyright information and `n' will print the full copyright notice. -h, --help Display usage information and exit. -!, --more-help Pass the extended usage information through a pager.
