Usage: gnutls-cli-debug [ -<flag> [<val>] | --<name>[{=| }<val>] ]... [hostname]
None:
-d, --debug=num Enable debugging
- it must be in the range:
0 to 9999
-V, --verbose More verbose output
-p, --port=num The port to connect to
- it must be in the range:
0 to 65536
--app-proto an alias for the 'starttls-proto' option
--starttls-proto=str The application protocol to be used to obtain the server's certificate (https, ftp, smtp, imap, ldap, xmpp, lmtp, pop3, nntp, sieve, postgres)
--attime=str Perform validation at the timestamp instead of the system time
Version, usage and configuration options:
-v, --version[=arg] output version information and exit
-h, --help display extended usage information and exit
-!, --more-help extended usage information passed thru pager
Options are specified by doubled hyphens and their name or by a single
hyphen and the flag character.

TLS debug client. It sets up multiple TLS connections to
a server and queries its capabilities. It was created to assist in debugging
GnuTLS, but it might be useful to extract a TLS server's capabilities.
It connects to a TLS server, performs tests and print the server's
capabilities. If called with the `-V' parameter more checks will be performed.
Can be used to check for servers with special needs or bugs.
