NAME
       openssl-nseq - create or examine a Netscape certificate sequence


SYNOPSIS
       openssl nseq [-help] [-in filename] [-out filename] [-toseq] [-provider name] [-provider-path path]
       [-propquery propq]


DESCRIPTION
       This 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.

       A Netscape certificate sequence is an old Netscape-specific format that can be sometimes 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 was also used by Netscape certificate server.


OPTIONS
       -help
           Print out a usage message.

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

       -out filename
           Specifies the output filename or standard output by default.

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

       -provider name
       -provider-path path
       -propquery propq
           See "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).


EXAMPLES
       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
