 [ Usage ]
-	certverify [-ca bundle] [-f] [-i bundle] [-v] certificate
+        certverify [-ca bundle] [-f] [-i bundle] [-r] [-v] certificate
 
 [ Flags ]
-	-ca bundle	Specify the path to the CA certificate bundle
-			to use.
-	-f		Force the use of the intermediate bundle, ignoring
-			any intermediates bundled with the certificate.
-	-i bundle	Specify the path to the intermediate certificate
-			bundle to use.
-	-v		Print extra information during the program's run.
-			If the certificate validates, also prints 'OK'.
+        -ca bundle      Specify the path to the CA certificate bundle
+                        to use.
+        -f              Force the use of the intermediate bundle, ignoring
+                        any intermediates bundled with the certificate.
+        -i bundle       Specify the path to the intermediate certificate
+                        bundle to use.
+        -r              Print revocation and expiry information.
+        -v              Print extra information during the program's run.
+                        If the certificate validates, also prints 'OK'.
 
 [ Examples ]
 
 To verify the 'www.pem' certificate against the system roots:
 
-	$ certverify www.pem
-	$ echo $?
-	0
+        $ certverify www.pem
+        $ echo $?
+        0
 
 To verify the 'www.pem' certificate against the 'ca-cert.pem' CA
 certificate bundle, and seeing a mismatch:
 
-	$ certverify -ca ca-cert.pem www.pem
-	Verification failed: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority
-	$ echo $?
-	1
+        $ certverify -ca ca-cert.pem www.pem
+        Verification failed: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority
+        $ echo $?
+        1
+
+Using the stealchain (../stealchain) util, print revocation and expiry
+information for google.com:
+
+        $ stealchain google.com
+        [+] wrote google.com.pem.
+        $ certverify -r google.com.pem 
+        certificate expires in 53d.
