| .TH mk-ca-bundle 1 "5 Jan 2013" "version 1.17" "mk-ca-bundle manual" |
| .SH NAME |
| mk-ca-bundle \- convert mozilla's certdata.txt to PEM format |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| mk-ca-bundle [bilnqtuv] |
| .I [outputfile] |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| The mk-ca-bundle tool downloads the certdata.txt file from Mozilla's source |
| tree over HTTP, then parses certdata.txt and extracts CA Root Certificates |
| into PEM format. These are then processed with the OpenSSL commandline tool |
| to produce the final ca-bundle file. |
| |
| The default \fIoutputfile\fP name is \fBca-bundle.crt\fP. By setting it to '-' |
| (a single dash) you will get the output sent to STDOUT instead of a file. |
| |
| The PEM format this scripts uses for output makes the result readily available |
| for use by just about all OpenSSL or GnuTLS powered applications, such as |
| curl, wget and more. |
| .SH OPTIONS |
| The following options are supported: |
| .IP -b |
| backup an existing version of \fIoutputfilename\fP |
| .IP -f |
| force rebuild even if certdata.txt is current (Added in version 1.17) |
| .IP -i |
| print version info about used modules |
| .IP -l |
| print license info about certdata.txt |
| .IP -n |
| no download of certdata.txt (to use existing) |
| .IP -q |
| be really quiet (no progress output at all) |
| .IP -t |
| include plain text listing of certificates |
| .IP -u |
| unlink (remove) certdata.txt after processing |
| .IP -v |
| be verbose and print out processed CAs |
| .SH EXIT STATUS |
| Returns 0 on success. Returns 1 if it fails to download data. |
| .SH SEE ALSO |
| .BR curl (1) |
| .SH HISTORY |
| \fBmk-ca-bundle\fP is a command line tool that is shipped as part of every |
| curl and libcurl release (see http://curl.haxx.se/). It was originally based |
| on the parse-certs script written by Roland Krikava and was later much |
| improved by Guenter Knauf. This manual page was written by Jan Schaumann |
| \&<jschauma@netmeister.org>. |
