.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
OpenSSL provides fine-grain control over how the subject and issuer \s-1DN\s0's are
displayed.
This is specified by using the \fB\-nameopt\fR option, which takes a
comma-separated list of options from the following set.
An option may be preceded by a minus sign, \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR, to turn it off.
The default value is \f(CW\*(C`oneline\*(C'\fR.
The first four are the most commonly used.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.SS "Name Format Option Arguments"
.IX Subsection "Name Format Option Arguments"
The \s-1DN\s0 output format can be fine tuned with the following flags.
.IP "\fBcompat\fR" 4
.IX Item "compat"
Display the name using an old format from previous OpenSSL versions.
.IP "\fB\s-1RFC2253\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "RFC2253"
Display the name using the format defined in \s-1RFC 2253.\s0
It is equivalent to \fBesc_2253\fR, \fBesc_ctrl\fR, \fBesc_msb\fR, \fButf8\fR,
\&\fBdump_nostr\fR, \fBdump_unknown\fR, \fBdump_der\fR, \fBsep_comma_plus\fR, \fBdn_rev\fR
and \fBsname\fR.
.IP "\fBoneline\fR" 4
.IX Item "oneline"
Display the name in one line, using a format that is more readable
\&\s-1RFC 2253.\s0
It is equivalent to \fBesc_2253\fR, \fBesc_ctrl\fR, \fBesc_msb\fR, \fButf8\fR,
\&\fBdump_nostr\fR, \fBdump_der\fR, \fBuse_quote\fR, \fBsep_comma_plus_space\fR,
\&\fBspace_eq\fR and \fBsname\fR options.
.IP "\fBmultiline\fR" 4
.IX Item "multiline"
Display the name using multiple lines.
It is equivalent to \fBesc_ctrl\fR, \fBesc_msb\fR, \fBsep_multiline\fR, \fBspace_eq\fR,
\&\fBlname\fR and \fBalign\fR.
.IP "\fBesc_2253\fR" 4
.IX Item "esc_2253"
Escape the \*(L"special\*(R" characters in a field, as required by \s-1RFC 2253.\s0
That is, any of the characters \f(CW\*(C`,+"<>;\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`#\*(C'\fR at the beginning of
a string and leading or trailing spaces.
.IP "\fBesc_2254\fR" 4
.IX Item "esc_2254"
Escape the \*(L"special\*(R" characters in a field as required by \s-1RFC 2254\s0 in a field.
That is, the \fB\s-1NUL\s0\fR character and of \f(CW\*(C`()*\*(C'\fR.
.IP "\fBesc_ctrl\fR" 4
.IX Item "esc_ctrl"
Escape non-printable \s-1ASCII\s0 characters, codes less than 0x20 (space)
or greater than 0x7F (\s-1DELETE\s0). They are displayed using \s-1RFC 2253\s0 \f(CW\*(C`\eXX\*(C'\fR
notation where \fB\s-1XX\s0\fR are the two hex digits representing the character value.
.IP "\fBesc_msb\fR" 4
.IX Item "esc_msb"
Escape any characters with the most significant bit set, that is with
values larger than 127, as described in \fBesc_ctrl\fR.
.IP "\fBuse_quote\fR" 4
.IX Item "use_quote"
Escapes some characters by surrounding the entire string with quotation
marks, \f(CW\*(C`"\*(C'\fR.
Without this option, individual special characters are preceded with
a backslash character, \f(CW\*(C`\e\*(C'\fR.
.IP "\fButf8\fR" 4
.IX Item "utf8"
Convert all strings to \s-1UTF\-8\s0 format first as required by \s-1RFC 2253.\s0
If the output device is \s-1UTF\-8\s0 compatible, then using this option (and
not setting \fBesc_msb\fR) may give the correct display of multibyte
characters.
If this option is not set, then multibyte characters larger than 0xFF
will be output as \f(CW\*(C`\eUXXXX\*(C'\fR for 16 bits or \f(CW\*(C`\eWXXXXXXXX\*(C'\fR for 32 bits.
In addition, any UTF8Strings will be converted to their character form first.
.IP "\fBignore_type\fR" 4
.IX Item "ignore_type"
This option does not attempt to interpret multibyte characters in any
way. That is, the content octets are merely dumped as though one octet
represents each character. This is useful for diagnostic purposes but
will result in rather odd looking output.
.IP "\fBshow_type\fR" 4
.IX Item "show_type"
Display the type of the \s-1ASN1\s0 character string before the value,
such as \f(CW\*(C`BMPSTRING: Hello World\*(C'\fR.
.IP "\fBdump_der\fR" 4
.IX Item "dump_der"
Any fields that would be output in hex format are displayed using
the \s-1DER\s0 encoding of the field.
If not set, just the content octets are displayed.
Either way, the \fB#XXXX...\fR format of \s-1RFC 2253\s0 is used.
.IP "\fBdump_nostr\fR" 4
.IX Item "dump_nostr"
Dump non-character strings, such as \s-1ASN.1\s0 \fB\s-1OCTET STRING\s0\fR.
If this option is not set, then non character string types will be displayed
as though each content octet represents a single character.
.IP "\fBdump_all\fR" 4
.IX Item "dump_all"
Dump all fields. When this used with \fBdump_der\fR, this allows the
\&\s-1DER\s0 encoding of the structure to be unambiguously determined.
.IP "\fBdump_unknown\fR" 4
.IX Item "dump_unknown"
Dump any field whose \s-1OID\s0 is not recognised by OpenSSL.
.IP "\fBsep_comma_plus\fR, \fBsep_comma_plus_space\fR, \fBsep_semi_plus_space\fR, \fBsep_multiline\fR" 4
.IX Item "sep_comma_plus, sep_comma_plus_space, sep_semi_plus_space, sep_multiline"
Specify the field separators. The first word is used between the
Relative Distinguished Names (RDNs) and the second is between
multiple Attribute Value Assertions (AVAs). Multiple AVAs are
very rare and their use is discouraged.
The options ending in \*(L"space\*(R" additionally place a space after the separator to make it more readable.
The \fBsep_multiline\fR starts each field on its own line, and uses \*(L"plus space\*(R"
for the \s-1AVA\s0 separator.
It also indents the fields by four characters.
The default value is \fBsep_comma_plus_space\fR.
.IP "\fBdn_rev\fR" 4
.IX Item "dn_rev"
Reverse the fields of the \s-1DN\s0 as required by \s-1RFC 2253.\s0
This also reverses the order of multiple AVAs in a field, but this is
permissible as there is no ordering on values.
.IP "\fBnofname\fR, \fBsname\fR, \fBlname\fR, \fBoid\fR" 4
.IX Item "nofname, sname, lname, oid"
Specify how the field name is displayed.
\&\fBnofname\fR does not display the field at all.
\&\fBsname\fR uses the \*(L"short name\*(R" form (\s-1CN\s0 for commonName for example).
\&\fBlname\fR uses the long form.
\&\fBoid\fR represents the \s-1OID\s0 in numerical form and is useful for
diagnostic purpose.
.IP "\fBalign\fR" 4
.IX Item "align"
Align field values for a more readable output. Only usable with
\&\fBsep_multiline\fR.
.IP "\fBspace_eq\fR" 4
.IX Item "space_eq"
Places spaces round the equal sign, \f(CW\*(C`=\*(C'\fR, character which follows the field
name.
