DESCRIPTION
       This sub-command of pki(1) is used to issue a Certificate Revocation
       List (CRL) using a CA certificate and private key.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
              Print usage information with a summary of the available options.

       -v, --debug level
              Set debug level, default: 1.

       -+, --options file
              Read command line options from file.

       -k, --cakey file
              CA private key file. Either this or --cakeyid is required.

       -x, --cakeyid hex
              Smartcard or TPM CA private key object handle in hex format with
              an optional 0x prefix. Either this or --cakey is required.

       -c, --cacert file
              CA certificate file. Required.

       -l, --lifetime days
              Days until the CRL gets a nextUpdate, default: 15. Ignored if
              both an absolute start and end time are given.

       -F, --this-update datetime
              Absolute time when the validity of the CRL begins. The datetime
              format is defined by the --dateform option.

       -T, --next-update datetime
              Absolute time when the validity of the CRL end. The datetime
              format is defined by the --dateform option.

       -D, --dateform form
              strptime(3) format for the --this-update and --next-update
              options, default: %d.%m.%y %T

       -a, --lastcrl crl
              CRL of lastUpdate to copy revocations from.

       -b, --basecrl crl
              Base CRL to create a delta CRL for.

       -u, --crluri uri
              Freshest delta CRL URI to include in CRL. Can be used multiple
              times.

       -g, --digest digest
              Digest to use for signature creation. One of md5, sha1, sha224,
              sha256, sha384, or sha512.  The default is determined based on
              the type and size of the signature key.

       -R, --rsa-padding padding
              Padding to use for RSA signatures. Either pkcs1 or pss, defaults
              to pkcs1.

       -X, --critical oid
              Add a critical extension with the given OID.

       -f, --outform encoding
              Encoding of the created certificate file. Either der (ASN.1 DER)
              or pem (Base64 PEM), defaults to der.

   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).

       -r, --reason reason
              The reason why the certificate was revoked. One of
              key-compromise, ca-compromise, affiliation-changed, superseded,
              cessation-of-operation, or certificate-hold.

       -d, --date ts
              Revocation date as Unix timestamp. Defaults to the current time.

       -z, --cert file
              Certificate file to revoke.

       -s, --serial hex
              Hexadecimal encoded serial number of the certificate to revoke.

EXAMPLES
       Revoke a certificate:

         pki --signcrl --cacert ca_cert.der --cakey ca_key.der \
             --reason superseded --cert cert.der > crl.der

       Update an existing CRL with two new revocations, using the
       certificate's serial number, but no reason:

         pki --signcrl --cacert ca_cert.der --cakey ca_key.der \
             --lastcrl old_crl.der --serial 0123 --serial 0345 > crl.der
