NAME
       openssl-nseq - create or examine a Netscape certificate sequence

SYNOPSIS
       openssl nseq [-help] [-in filename] [-out filename] [-toseq] [-provider name] [-provider-path path] [-provparam
       [name:]key=value] [-propquery propq]

DESCRIPTION
       This 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.

       A Netscape certificate sequence is an old Netscape-specific format that can be sometimes 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 was also used by Netscape certificate server.

OPTIONS
       -help
	   Print out a usage message.

       -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.

       -provider name
       -provider-path path
       -provparam [name:]key=value
       -propquery propq
	   See "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).

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
