DESCRIPTION
This sub-command of pki(1) is used to issue a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) using a CA certificate and private key.

OPTIONS

-h, --help
    Print usage information with a summary of the available options.

-v, --debug level
    Set debug level, default: 1.

-+, --options file
    Read command line options from file.

-k, --cakey file
    CA private key file. Either this or --cakeyid is required.

-x, --cakeyid hex
    Key ID of a CA private key on a smartcard. Either this or --cakey is required.

-c, --cacert file
    CA certificate file. Required.

-l, --lifetime days
    Days until the CRL gets a nextUpdate, default: 15. Ignored if both an absolute start and end time are given.

-F, --this-update datetime
    Absolute time when the validity of the CRL begins. The datetime format is defined by the --dateform option.

-T, --next-update datetime
    Absolute time when the validity of the CRL end. The datetime format is defined by the --dateform option.

-D, --dateform form
    strptime(3) format for the --this-update and --next-update options, default: %d.%m.%y %T

-a, --lastcrl crl
    CRL of lastUpdate to copy revocations from.

-b, --basecrl crl
    Base CRL to create a delta CRL for.

-u, --crluri uri
    Freshest delta CRL URI to include in CRL. Can be used multiple times.

-g, --digest digest
    Digest to use for signature creation. One of md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, or sha512. The default is determined based on the type and size of the signature key.

-f, --outform encoding
    Encoding of the created certificate file. Either der (ASN.1 DER) or pem (Base64 PEM), defaults to der.

  Revoked Certificates
Multiple revoked certificates can be added to the CRL by either providing the certificate file or the respective serial number directly. A reason and a timestamp can be configured for each revocation (they have to be given before each certificate/serial on the command line).

-r, --reason reason
    The reason why the certificate was revoked. One of key-compromise, ca-compromise, affiliation-changed, superseded, cessation-of-operation, or certificate-hold.

-d, --date ts
    Revocation date as Unix timestamp. Defaults to the current time.

-z, --cert file
    Certificate file to revoke.

-s, --serial hex
    Hexadecimal encoded serial number of the certificate to revoke.

EXAMPLES
Revoke a certificate:

      pki --signcrl --cacert ca_cert.der --cakey ca_key.der \
          --reason superseded --cert cert.der > crl.der

Update an existing CRL with two new revocations, using the certificate's serial number, but no reason:

      pki --signcrl --cacert ca_cert.der --cakey ca_key.der \
          --lastcrl old_crl.der --serial 0123 --serial 0345 > crl.der
