NAME
     openssl-crl2pkcs7 - Create a PKCS#7 structure from a CRL and certificates

SYNOPSIS
     openssl crl2pkcs7 [-help] [-inform DER|PEM] [-outform DER|PEM] [-in file-
     name] [-out filename] [-certfile filename] [-nocrl] [-provider name]
     [-provider-path path] [-provparam [name:]key=value] [-propquery propq]

DESCRIPTION
     This command takes an optional CRL and one or more certificates and con-
     verts them into a PKCS#7 degenerate "certificates only" structure.

OPTIONS
     -help
	 Print out a usage message.

     -inform DER|PEM
	 The input format of the CRL; the default is PEM.  See openssl-for-
	 mat-options(1) for details.

     -outform DER|PEM
	 The output format of the PKCS#7 object; the default is PEM.  See
	 openssl-format-options(1) for details.

     -in filename
	 This specifies the input filename to read a CRL from or standard input
	 if this option is not specified.

     -out filename
	 Specifies the output filename to write the PKCS#7 structure to or stan-
	 dard output by default.

     -certfile filename
	 Specifies a filename containing one or more certificates in PEM format.
	 All certificates in the file will be added to the PKCS#7 structure.
	 This option can be used more than once to read certificates from multi-
	 ple files.

     -nocrl
	 Normally a CRL is included in the output file. With this option no CRL
	 is included in the output file and a CRL is not read from the input
	 file.

     -provider name
     -provider-path path
     -provparam [name:]key=value
     -propquery propq
	 See "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).

EXAMPLES
     Create a PKCS#7 structure from a certificate and CRL:

      openssl crl2pkcs7 -in crl.pem -certfile cert.pem -out p7.pem

     Creates a PKCS#7 structure in DER format with no CRL from several different
     certificates:

      openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile newcert.pem
	     -certfile demoCA/cacert.pem -outform DER -out p7.der

NOTES
     The output file is a PKCS#7 signed data structure containing no signers and
     just certificates and an optional CRL.

     This command can be used to send certificates and CAs to Netscape as part
     of the certificate enrollment process. This involves sending the DER en-
     coded output as MIME type application/x-x509-user-cert.

     The PEM encoded form with the header and footer lines removed can be used
     to install user certificates and CAs in MSIE using the Xenroll control.
