Pretty Print CRL

The Pretty Print CRL tool, PrettyPrintCrl, prints the contents of a certificate revocation list (CRL)
in an ASCII base-64 encoded file in a readable form.

9.1. Syntax

The PrettyPrintCrl utility has the following syntax:
PrettyPrintCrl input_file [output-file]
Option
input_file
output_file

9.2. Usage

The following example PrettyPrintCrl command takes the ASCII base-64 encoded CRL in the
ascii_crl.in file and writes the CRL in the pretty-print form to the output file ascii_crl.out.
PrettyPrintCrl /usr/home/smith/test/ascii_crl.in /usr/home/smith/test/ascii_crl.out
The base-64 encoded CRL in the ascii_crl.in file looks like the following:
-----BEGIN CRL-----

-----END CRL-----
The CRL in pretty-print format in the ascii_crl.out output file looks like the following:
