     certificates.

     The ccccrrrrllll2222ppppkkkkccccssss7777 command takes an optional CRL and one or more
     certificates and converts them into a PKCS#7 degenerate
     "certificates only" structure.

         This specifies the CRL input format. DDDDEEEERRRR format is DER
         encoded CRL structure.PPPPEEEEMMMM (the default) is a base64
         encoded version of the DER form with header and footer
         lines.

     -oooouuuuttttffffoooorrrrmmmm DDDDEEEERRRR||||PPPPEEEEMMMM
         This specifies the PKCS#7 structure output format. DDDDEEEERRRR
         format is DER encoded PKCS#7 structure.PPPPEEEEMMMM (the default)
         is a base64 encoded version of the DER form with header
         and footer lines.

     -iiiinnnn ffffiiiilllleeeennnnaaaammmmeeee
         This specifies the input filename to read a CRL from or
         standard input if this option is not specified.

     -oooouuuutttt ffffiiiilllleeeennnnaaaammmmeeee
         specifies the output filename to write the PKCS#7
         structure to or standard output by default.

     -cccceeeerrrrttttffffiiiilllleeee ffffiiiilllleeeennnnaaaammmmeeee
         specifies a filename containing one or more certificates
         in PPPPEEEEMMMM format.  All certificates in the file will be
         added to the PKCS#7 structure. This option can be used
         more than once to read certificates form multiple files.

     -nnnnooooccccrrrrllll
         normally a CRL is included in the output file. With this
         option no CRL is included in the output file and a CRL
         is not read from the input file.

     Create a PKCS#7 structure from a certificate and CRL:

      openssl crl2pkcs7 -in crl.pem -certfile cert.pem -out p7.pem

     Creates a PKCS#7 structure in DER format with no CRL from
     several different certificates:

      openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile newcert.pem
             -certfile demoCA/cacert.pem -outform DER -out p7.der

     The output file is a PKCS#7 signed data structure containing
     no signers and just certificates and an optional CRL.

     This utility can be used to send certificates and CAs to
     Netscape as part of the certificate enrollment process. This
     involves sending the DER encoded output as MIME type
     application/x-x509-user-cert.

     The PPPPEEEEMMMM encoded form with the header and footer lines
     removed can be used to install user certificates and CAs in
     MSIE using the Xenroll control.
