NAME
 nseq - create or examine a netscape certificate sequence
LIBRARY
 libcrypto, -lcrypto
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.
