NAME

       gnutls-cli-debug - GnuTLS debug client

SYNOPSIS

       gnutls-cli-debug [-flags] [-flag [value]] [--option-name[[=| ]value]] [hostname]

       Operands and options may be intermixed.  They will be reordered.

DESCRIPTION

       TLS  debug  client.  It  sets  up  multiple  TLS  connections  to a server and queries its
       capabilities. It was created to assist in debugging GnuTLS, but  it  might  be  useful  to
       extract  a  TLS  server's  capabilities.   It connects to a TLS server, performs tests and
       print the server's capabilities. If called with the `-V' parameter  more  checks  will  be
       performed.  Can be used to check for servers with special needs or bugs.

OPTIONS

       -d num, --debug=num
              Enable  debugging.  This option takes an integer number as its argument.  The value
              of num is constrained to being:
                  in the range 0 through 9999

              Specifies the debug level.

       -V, --verbose
              More verbose output.

       -p num, --port=num
              The port to connect to.  This option takes an integer number as its argument.  The
              value of num is constrained to being:
                  in the range 0 through 65536

       --app-proto
              This is an alias for the --starttls-proto option.

       --starttls-proto=str
              The application protocol to be used to obtain the server's certificate (https, ftp,
              smtp, imap, ldap, xmpp, lmtp, pop3, nntp, sieve, postgres).

              Specify the application layer protocol for STARTTLS. If the protocol is supported,
              gnutls-cli will proceed to the TLS negotiation.

       --attime=timestamp
              Perform validation at the timestamp instead of the system time.

              timestamp is an instance in time encoded as Unix time or in a human
               readable timestring such as "29 Feb 2004", "2004-02-29".  Full documentation
              available at
              <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/Date-input-formats.html>
              or locally via info '(coreutils) date invocation'.

       -v arg, --version=arg
              Output version of program and exit.  The default mode is `v', a simple version.
              The `c' mode will print copyright information and `n' will print the full copyright
              notice.

       -h, --help
              Display usage information and exit.

       -!, --more-help
              Pass the extended usage information through a pager.
