SYNOPSIS
openssl pkcs7 [-help] [-inform DER|PEM] [-outform DER|PEM] [-in

DESCRIPTION
This command processes PKCS#7 files. Note that it only understands
PKCS#7 v 1.5 as specified in IETF RFC 2315. It cannot currently parse
CMS as described in IETF RFC 2630.
OPTIONS
-help
Print out a usage message.
-inform DER|PEM, -outform DER|PEM
The input and formats; the default is PEM. See
openssl-format-options(1) for details.
The data is a PKCS#7 Version 1.5 structure.
-in filename
This specifies the input filename to read from or standard input if
this option is not specified.
-out filename
Specifies the output filename to write to or standard output by
default.
-print
Print out the full PKCS7 object.
-print_certs
Prints out any certificates or CRLs contained in the file. They are
preceded by their subject and issuer names in one line format.
-quiet
When used with -print_certs, prints out just the PEM-encoded
certificates without any other output.
-text
Prints out certificate details in full rather than just subject and
issuer names.
-noout
Don't output the encoded version of the PKCS#7 structure (or
certificates if -print_certs is set).
-engine id
See "Engine Options" in openssl(1). This option is deprecated.
-provider name
-provider-path path
-propquery propq
See "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).
EXAMPLES
Convert a PKCS#7 file from PEM to DER:
openssl pkcs7 -in file.pem -outform DER -out file.der
Output all certificates in a file:
openssl pkcs7 -in file.pem -print_certs -out certs.pem
