OPENSSL-PKCS7(1ossl) OpenSSL OPENSSL-PKCS7(1ossl) NAME openssl-pkcs7 - PKCS#7 command SYNOPSIS openssl pkcs7 [-help] [-inform DER|PEM] [-outform DER|PEM] [-in filename] [-out filename] [-print] [-print_certs] [-quiet] [-text] [-noout] [-provider name] [-provider-path path] [-provparam [name:]key=value] [-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 de- scribed 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-op- tions(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 de- fault. -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. -quiet When used with -print_certs, prints out just the PEM-encoded certifi- cates without any other output. -text Prints out certificate details in full rather than just subject and is- suer names. -noout Don't output the encoded version of the PKCS#7 structure (or certifi- cates if -print_certs is set). -provider name -provider-path path -provparam [name:]key=value -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 SEE ALSO openssl(1), openssl-crl2pkcs7(1) HISTORY The -engine option was removed in OpenSSL 4.0.
