Specifies the compression level for the -J or -Z option. The symbol # represents
a number from 0 to 9, where 0 means no compression and 9 means maximum
compression. The higher the level of compression, the smaller the output but the
longer the operation takes.
If the -c# option is not used with either the -J or the -Z option, the default
compression value used by both the -J and -Z options is 6.
Specifies your certificate database directory; that is, the directory in which you
placed your key3.db and cert7.db files. To specify the current directory, use
"-d." (including the period).
The Unix version of signtool assumes ~/.netscape unless told otherwise.
The NT version of signtool always requires the use of the -d option to specify
where the database files are located.
Tells signtool to sign only files with the given extension; for example, use
-e".class" to sign only Java class files. Note that with Netscape Signing Tool
version 1.1 and later this option can appear multiple times on one command
line, making it possible to specify multiple file types or classes to include.
Specifies a text file containing Netscape Signing Tool options and arguments in
keyword=value format. All options and arguments can be expressed through this
file. For more information about the syntax used with this file, see "Tips and
Techniques" on page 95.
Specifies the name of an installer script for SmartUpdate. This script installs files
from the JAR archive in the local system after SmartUpdate has validated the
digital signature. For more details, see the description of -m that follows. The -i
option provides a straightforward way to provide this information if you don't
need to specify any metadata other than an installer script.
Specifies a special JavaScript directory. This option causes the specified
directory to be signed and tags its entries as inline JavaScript. This special type
of entry does not have to appear in the JAR file itself. Instead, it is located in the
HTML page containing the inline scripts. When you use signtool -v, these
entries are displayed with the string NOT PRESENT.
