Tool to parse and generate X.509 certificates, requests and private keys.
It can be used interactively or non interactively by
specifying the template command line option.

The tool accepts files or supported URIs via the --infile option. In case PIN
is required for URI access you can provide it using the environment variables GNUTLS_PIN
and GNUTLS_SO_PIN.
