NAME

       xca - X Certificate and key management
       A  GUI  for  handling  X509  certificates,  RSA/DSA/EC keys, PKCS#10 Requests and CRLs in Software and on
       Smartcards.

SYNOPSIS

       xca [-v] [-d] [-x]
       xca extract <database> <type> <name>

DESCRIPTION

       This application is intended as CA, certificate- and Key store. It uses a single file to store the items.
       Supported are Certificate signing requests (PKCS#10), Certificates (X509v3), RSA, DSA  and  EC  keys  and
       Certificate  revocation  lists.   The signing of requests, and the creation of selfsigned certificates is
       supported. Both can use templates for simplicity.  The PKI structures can be  imported  and  exported  in
       several formats like PKCS#12, PEM, DER, PKCS#8, PKCS#7.
       XCA enables users to manage smartcards via the PKCS#11 interface

OPTIONS

       A  summary  of options are included below.  There are some deprecated legacy options: [-k] [-r] [-c] [-p]
       [-7] [-l] [-t] [-P]
       Before XCA 0.9.0, the type of the items had to be given. This was  removed  since.  Just  put  all  keys,
       certs,  requests  and the database unsorted on the commandline. For backwards compatibility those options
       are ignored when found.

       -v     Show version information and exit.

       -d     expect the following argument to be a new database to use.

       -x     Exit after processing all commandline options.  Usually after importing the items from commandline
              the application will startup as usual. With the -x option given it will exit after  finishing  the
              import dialog. This is useful if xca is used as default application for viewing certificates, keys
              or requests.

       xca extract <database> <type> <name>
              extracts  the  item  with  internal  name  <name>  and  the type cert req or crl from the database
              database in PEM format to <STDOUT>
