27
28This command processes PKCS#7 files.  Note that it only understands PKCS#7
29v 1.5 as specified in IETF RFC 2315.  It cannot currently parse CMS as

39
40=item B<-inform> B<DER>|B<PEM>, B<-outform> B<DER>|B<PEM>
41
42The input and formats; the default is B<PEM>.
43See L<openssl-format-options(1)> for details.
44
45The data is a PKCS#7 Version 1.5 structure.
46
47=item B<-in> I<filename>
48
49This specifies the input filename to read from or standard input if this
50option is not specified.
51
52=item B<-out> I<filename>
53
54Specifies the output filename to write to or standard output by
55default.
56
57=item B<-print>
58
59Print out the full PKCS7 object.
60
61=item B<-print_certs>
62
63Prints out any certificates or CRLs contained in the file. They are
64preceded by their subject and issuer names in one line format.
65
66=item B<-text>
67
68Prints out certificate details in full rather than just subject and
69issuer names.
70
71=item B<-noout>
72
73Don't output the encoded version of the PKCS#7 structure (or certificates
74if B<-print_certs> is set).
