9.2. Usage

The following example converts the ASCII base-64 encoded certificate in the ascii_cert.in file and writes the certificate in the pretty-print form to the output file ascii_cert.out. 
PrettyPrintCert /usr/home/smith/test/ascii_cert.in /usr/home/smith/test/ascii_cert.out
The base-64 encoded certificate data in the ascii_cert.in looks like the following: 
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

-----END CERTIFICATE-----
The certificate in pretty-print format in the ascii_cert.out file looks like the following:

The following example command takes the ASCII base-64 encoded certificate in the ascii_cert.in file and writes the information contained within the certificate to the simple format output file cert.simple. 
PrettyPrintCert -simpleinfo /usr/home/smith/test/ascii_cert.in /usr/home/smith/test/cert.simple
The base-64 encoded certificate data in ascii_cert.in file looks similar to the following: 
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
