certverify
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is a small utility to verify a TLS X.509 certificate. It returns
 | 
						|
0 on success; on error, it prints the error and returns with exit code 1.
 | 
						|
It does not check for revocations (though this is a planned feature),
 | 
						|
and it does not check the hostname (it deals only in certificate files).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[ Usage ]
 | 
						|
	certverify [-ca bundle] [-f] [-i bundle] [-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'.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[ Examples ]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To verify the 'www.pem' certificate against the system roots:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	$ 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
