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.
