 NSEQ(1)                      OpenSSL                      NSEQ(1)
 
 
 
 NAME
        nseq - create or examine a netscape certificate sequence
 
 SYNOPSIS
        openssl nseq [-in filename] [-out filename] [-toseq]
 
 DESCRIPTION
        The nseq command takes a file containing a Netscape
        certificate sequence and prints out the certificates
        contained in it or takes a file of certificates and
        converts it into a Netscape certificate sequence.
 
 COMMAND OPTIONS
        -in filename
            This specifies the input filename to read or standard
            input if this option is not specified.
 
        -out filename
            specifies the output filename or standard output by
            default.
 
        -toseq
            normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input
            and the output is the certificates contained in it.
            With the -toseq option the situation is reversed: a
            Netscape certificate sequence is created from a file
            of certificates.
 
 EXAMPLES
        Output the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence
 
         openssl nseq -in nseq.pem -out certs.pem
 
        Create a Netscape certificate sequence
 
         openssl nseq -in certs.pem -toseq -out nseq.pem
 
 
 NOTES
        The PEM encoded form uses the same headers and footers as
        a certificate:
 
         -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
         -----END CERTIFICATE-----
 
        A Netscape certificate sequence is a Netscape specific
        form that can be sent to browsers as an alternative to the
        standard PKCS#7 format when several certificates are sent
        to the browser: for example during certificate enrollment.
        It is used by Netscape certificate server for example.
 
 BUGS
        This program needs a few more options: like allowing DER
        or PEM input and output files and allowing multiple
        certificate files to be used.
