DERDUMP(1)

NAME
derdump - dumping contents of DER encoded files

SYNOPSIS
derdump file1 [fileN ...]

DESCRIPTION
The derdump utility dumps the contents of one or more DER encoded Ar file in a more human readable format. This is similar to the asn1parse(1) utility distributed with OpenSSL when used with the -inform DER option.

A representation of the object will be output to stdout, with indentation to denote objects that are encoded within other constructed objects. Note that derdump does not make much attempt to interpret the contents of any particular object. If an object uses one of the universal types, then a friendly name will be displayed for that object. If an object uses any other type, then derdump will display the raw hex value of the type used. Values of primitive objects are output as raw hex, and no effort is made to try and print a friendly representation.

SEE ALSO
asn1parse(1), libder(3)

BUGS
derdump does not currently make any attempt to render a type that uses the long encoded format. Instead, it will render as “{ ... }”.
