     The ppppkkkkccccssss7777 command processes PKCS#7 files in DER or PEM
     format.

CCCCOOOOMMMMMMMMAAAANNNNDDDD OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
     -iiiinnnnffffoooorrrrmmmm DDDDEEEERRRR||||PPPPEEEEMMMM
         This specifies the input format. DDDDEEEERRRR format is DER
         encoded PKCS#7 v1.5 structure.PPPPEEEEMMMM (the default) is a
         base64 encoded version of the DER form with header and
         footer lines.

     -oooouuuuttttffffoooorrrrmmmm DDDDEEEERRRR||||PPPPEEEEMMMM
         This specifies the output format, the options have the
         same meaning as the ---iiinnnnffffoooorrrrmmmm option.

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

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

     -pppprrrriiiinnnntttt_cccceeeerrrrttttssss
         prints out any certificates or CRLs contained in the
         file. They are preceded by their subject and issuer
         names in one line format.

     -tttteeeexxxxtttt
         prints out certificates details in full rather than just
         subject and issuer names.

     -nnnnoooooooouuuutttt
         don't output the encoded version of the PKCS#7 structure
         (or certificates is ---ppprrrriiiinnnntttt_cccceeeerrrrttttssss is set).

     -eeeennnnggggiiiinnnneeee iiiidddd
         specifying an engine (by it's unique iiiidddd string) will
         cause rrrreeeeqqqq to attempt to obtain a functional reference to
         the specified engine, thus initialising it if needed.
         The engine will then be set as the default for all
         available algorithms.

     Convert a PKCS#7 file from PEM to DER:

      openssl pkcs7 -in file.pem -outform DER -out file.der

     Output all certificates in a file:

      openssl pkcs7 -in file.pem -print_certs -out certs.pem


NNNNOOOOTTTTEEEESSSS
     The PEM PKCS#7 format uses the header and footer lines:

      -----BEGIN PKCS7-----
      -----END PKCS7-----

     For compatibility with some CAs it will also accept:

      -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
      -----END CERTIFICATE-----


RRRREEEESSSSTTTTRRRRIIIICCCCTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
     There is no option to print out all the fields of a PKCS#7
     file.

     This PKCS#7 routines only understand PKCS#7 v 1.5 as
     specified in RFC2315 they cannot currently parse, for
     example, the new CMS as described in RFC2630.
