Pretty Print CRL
The Pretty Print CRL tool, PrettyPrintCrl, prints the contents of a certificate revocation list
(CRL) in an ASCII base-64 encoded file in a readable form.
1. Syntax
The PrettyPrintCrl utility has the following syntax:
PrettyPrintCrl input_file [output-file]
Option Description
input_file Specifies the path to the file that contains the
ASCII base-64 encoded CRL.
output_file Optional. Specifies the path to the file to write
the CRL. If the output file is not specified, the
CRL information is written to the standard
output.
Table 10.1.
2. Usage
The following example PrettyPrintCrl command takes the ASCII base-64 encoded CRL in
the ascii_crl.in file and writes the CRL in the pretty-print form to the output file
ascii_crl.out.
PrettyPrintCrl /usr/home/smith/test/ascii_crl.in
/usr/home/smith/test/ascii_crl.out
The base-64 encoded CRL in the ascii_crl.in file looks like the following:
-----BEGIN CRL-----
