==============================================================================
fetch-crl - the Certificate Revocation List retrieval tool
==============================================================================
The fetch-crl utility will retrieve certificate revocation lists (CRLs) for
a set of installed trust anchors, based on crl_url files or IGTF-style info
files. It will install these for use with OpenSSL, NSS or third-party tools.
For more extensive information about fetch-crl3, please look on the web at:
http://www.nikhef.nl/grid/fetchcrl3
USAGE
-----
Usage: fetch-crl [-c|--config configfile] [-l|--infodir path]
[--cadir path] [-s|--statedir path] [-o|--output path] [--format @formats]
[-T|--httptimeout seconds] [-p|--parallelism n]
[-a|--agingtolerance hours] [-r|--randomwait seconds]
[-v|--verbose] [-h|--help] [-q|--quiet] [-d|--debug level]
Options:
-c | --config path
Read configuration data from path, default: /etc/fetch-crl.conf
-l | --infodir path
Location of the trust anchor meta-data files (crl_url or info),
default: /etc/grid-security/certificates
--cadir path
Location of the trust anchors (default to infodir)
-s | --statedir path
Location of the historic state data (for caching and delayed-warning)
-T | --httptimeout sec
Maximum time in seconds to wait for retrieval or a single URL
-o | --output path
Location of the CRLs written (global default, defaults to infodir
--format @formats
Format(s) in which the CRLs will be written (openssl, pem, der, nss)
-v | --verbose
Become more talkative
-q | --quiet
Become really quiet (overrides verbosity)
-p | --parallelism n
Run up to n parallel trust anchor retrieval processes
-a | --agingtolerance hours
Be quiet for up to hours hours before raising an error. Until
the tolerance has passed, only warnings are raised
-r | --randomwait seconds
Introduce a random delay of up to seconds seconds before starting
any retrieval processes
-h | --help

CONFIGURATION
-------------
The fetch-crl3 tool has built-in defaults that are suitable for 'grid' setups,
where trust anchors are installed in /etc/grid-security/certificates. It will
usually do what you want, if you use OpenSSL-like applications.
If you want, you can tune fetch-crl in a myriad of ways, by setting any of the
flags or options in the configuration file. This configuration file is looked
for in "/etc/fetch-crl.conf" by default, but an alternative location can be
specified with the "-c" command-line option.
Please look at the web site or in the example configuration file for more
explanation of the various configuration settings.
CONTRIBUTIONS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
----------------------------------
Fetch-crl3 is a complete re-write of the utility, but of course owes to the
extensive experience and contributions made over time by the contributors to
fetch-crl 1.x and 2.x, and to the people that reported bugs and feature
requests.
The original fetch-crl was developed for the acclaimed EU DataGrid project by
Fabio Hernandez and many significant contributions were made by Steve Traylen.
Fetch-crl3 was developed by David Groep, mainly for enjoyment, with the help
of large quantities of coffee and Spa Rood, and minimal quantities of sleep.
