<p>openssl-nseq,
nseq - create or examine a Netscape certificate sequence</p>
<p>

<h1><a name="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</a></h1>
<p><strong>openssl</strong> <strong>nseq</strong>
[<strong>-help</strong>]
[<strong>-in filename</strong>]
[<strong>-out filename</strong>]
[<strong>-toseq</strong>]</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p>The <strong>nseq</strong> 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.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="options">OPTIONS</a></h1>
<dl>
<dt><strong><a name="help" class="item"><strong>-help</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Print out a usage message.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="in_filename" class="item"><strong>-in filename</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This specifies the input filename to read or standard input if this
option is not specified.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="out_filename" class="item"><strong>-out filename</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Specifies the output filename or standard output by default.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="toseq" class="item"><strong>-toseq</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input and the output
is the certificates contained in it. With the <strong>-toseq</strong> option the
situation is reversed: a Netscape certificate sequence is created from
a file of certificates.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="examples">EXAMPLES</a></h1>
<p>Output the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence</p>
<pre>
openssl nseq -in nseq.pem -out certs.pem</pre>
<p>Create a Netscape certificate sequence</p>
<pre>
openssl nseq -in certs.pem -toseq -out nseq.pem</pre>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="notes">NOTES</a></h1>
<p>The <strong>PEM</strong> encoded form uses the same headers and footers as a certificate:</p>
<pre>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----</pre>
<p>A Netscape certificate sequence is a Netscape specific format 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.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="bugs">BUGS</a></h1>
<p>This program needs a few more options: like allowing DER or PEM input and
output files and allowing multiple certificate files to be used.</p>
