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.

NSEQ(1) 20/Jan/2000 (0.9.7e) NSEQ(1)
This program needs a few more options: like allowing DER or
PEM input and output files and allowing multiple certificate
files to be used.
