     NAME
          nseq - create or examine a netscape certificate sequence

     SYNOPSIS
          openssl nseq [-in filename] [-out filename] [-toseq]

     DESCRIPTION
          The nseq command takes a file containing a Netscape
          certificate sequence and prints out the certificates
          contained in it or takes a file of certificates and converts
          it into a Netscape certificate sequence.

     COMMAND OPTIONS
          -in filename
              This specifies the input filename to read or standard
              input if this option is not specified.

          -out filename
              specifies the output filename or standard output by
              default.

          -toseq
              normally a Netscape certificate sequence will be input
              and the output is the certificates contained in it. With
              the -toseq option the situation is reversed: a Netscape
              certificate sequence is created from a file of
              certificates.

     EXAMPLES
          Output the certificates in a Netscape certificate sequence

           openssl nseq -in nseq.pem -out certs.pem

          Create a Netscape certificate sequence

           openssl nseq -in certs.pem -toseq -out nseq.pem

     NOTES
          The PEM encoded form uses the same headers and footers as a
          certificate:

           -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
           -----END CERTIFICATE-----

          A Netscape certificate sequence is a Netscape specific form
          that can be sent to browsers as an alternative to the
          standard PKCS#7 format when several certificates are sent to
          the browser: for example during certificate enrollment.  It
          is used by Netscape certificate server for example.

     BUGS
          This program needs a few more options: like allowing DER or
