NAME
dirmngr-client - CRL and OCSP daemon
SYNOPSIS
dirmngr-client [options]
[certfile|pattern]
DESCRIPTION
The dirmngr-client is a simple tool to
contact a running dirmngr and test whether a certificate has been
revoked --- either by being listed in the corresponding CRL or by
running the OCSP protocol. If no dirmngr is running, a new
instances will be started but this is in general not a good idea
due to the huge performance overhead.
The usual way to run this tool is either:
-
dirmngr-client acert
or
-
dirmngr-client <acert
Where acert is one DER encoded (binary) X.509
certificates to be tested.
