+.TP
+.BI "\-I, \-\-crlissuer " issuer
+Optional CRL issuer for the CRL at the preceding distribution point.
+.TP
+.BI "\-o, \-\-ocsp " uri
+OCSP AuthorityInfoAccess URI to include in certificate. Can be used multiple

+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.
+To save repetitive typing, command line options can be stored in files.
+Lets assume
+.I pki.opt
+contains the following contents:
+.PP
+.EX
+ --cacert ca_cert.der --cakey ca_key.der --digest sha256
+ --flag serverAuth --lifetime 1460 --type pkcs10
+.EE
+.PP
+Then the following command can be used to issue a certificate based on a
+given PKCS#10 certificate request and the options above:
+.PP
+.EX
+ pki --issue --options pki.opt --in req.der > cert.der
+.EE
+.PP
