+.TP
+.B "\-h, \-\-help"
+Print usage information with a summary of the available options.
+.TP
+.BI "\-v, \-\-debug " level
+Set debug level, default: 1.
+.TP
+.BI "\-+, \-\-options " file
+Read command line options from \fIfile\fR.
+.TP
+.BI "\-k, \-\-cakey " file
+CA private key file. Either this or
+.B \-\-cakeyid
+is required.
+.TP
+.BI "\-x, \-\-cakeyid " hex
+Key ID of a CA private key on a smartcard. Either this or
+.B \-\-cakey
+is required.
+.TP
+.BI "\-c, \-\-cacert " file
+CA certificate file. Required.
+.TP
+.BI "\-l, \-\-lifetime " days
+Days until the CRL gets a nextUpdate, default: 15.
+.TP
+.BI "\-a, \-\-lastcrl " crl
+CRL of lastUpdate to copy revocations from.
+.TP
+.BI "\-b, \-\-basecrl " crl
+Base CRL to create a delta CRL for.
+.TP
+.BI "\-u, \-\-crluri " uri
+Freshest delta CRL URI to include in CRL. Can be used multiple times.
+.TP
+.BI "\-g, \-\-digest " digest
+Digest to use for signature creation. One of \fImd5\fR, \fIsha1\fR,
+\fIsha224\fR, \fIsha256\fR, \fIsha384\fR, or \fIsha512\fR. Defaults to
+\fIsha1\fR.
+.TP
+.BI "\-f, \-\-outform " encoding
+Encoding of the created certificate file. Either \fIder\fR (ASN.1 DER) or
+\fIpem\fR (Base64 PEM), defaults to \fIder\fR.
+.PP
+.SS "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).
+.TP
+.BI "\-r, \-\-reason " reason
+The reason why the certificate was revoked. One of \fIkey\-compromise\fR,
+\fIca\-compromise\fR, \fIaffiliation\-changed\fR, \fIsuperseded\fR,

+.TP
+.BI "\-z, \-\-cert " file
+Certificate file to revoke.
+.TP
+.BI "\-s, \-\-serial " hex
+Hexadecimal encoded serial number of the certificate to revoke.
+.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.
+Revoke a certificate:
+.PP
+.EX
+ pki \-\-signcrl \-\-cacert ca_cert.der \-\-cakey ca_key.der \\
+ \-\-reason superseded \-\-cert cert.der > crl.der
+.EE
+.PP
+Update an existing CRL with two new revocations, using the certificate's serial
+number, but no reason:
+.PP
+.EX
+ pki \-\-signcrl \-\-cacert ca_cert.der \-\-cakey ca_key.der \\
