key/request is read from \fISTDIN\fR.
.TP
.BI "\-t, \-\-type " type
Type of the input. Either \fIpub\fR for a public key, or \fIpkcs10\fR for a
PKCS#10 certificate request, defaults to \fIpub\fR.
.TP

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

.TP
.BI "\-u, \-\-crl " uri
CRL distribution point URI to include in certificate. Can be used multiple
times.
.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
times.
.TP
.BI "\-p, \-\-pathlen " len
Set path length constraint.
.TP
.BI "\-n, \-\-nc-permitted " name
Add permitted NameConstraint extension to certificate.
.TP
.BI "\-N, \-\-nc-excluded " name

.PP
.SS "Certificate Policy"
Multiple certificatePolicy extensions can be added. Each with the following
information:
.TP
.BI "\-P, \-\-cert-policy " oid
OID to include in certificatePolicy extension. Required.
.TP
.BI "\-C, \-\-cps-uri " uri
Certification Practice statement URI for certificatePolicy.
.TP
.BI "\-U, \-\-user-notice " text
User notice for certificatePolicy.
.
.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
