     The nnnnsssseeeeqqqq 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.

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

     -oooouuuutttt ffffiiiilllleeeennnnaaaammmmeeee
         specifies the output filename or standard output by
         default.

     -ttttoooosssseeeeqqqq
         normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input
         and the output is the certificates contained in it. With
         the ---tttoooosssseeeeqqqq option the situation is reversed: a Netscape
         certificate sequence is created from a file of
         certificates.

EEEEXXXXAAAAMMMMPPPPLLLLEEEESSSS
     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


NNNNOOOOTTTTEEEESSSS
     The PPPPEEEEMMMM 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.

     This program needs a few more options: like allowing DER or
     PEM input and output files and allowing multiple certificate
     files to be used.
