gnutls-cli-debug - GnuTLS debug client
gnutls-cli-debug [-flags] [-flag [value]] [--option-name[[=|
]value]] [hostname]
Operands and options may be intermixed. They will be reordered.
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.
-d num, --debug=num Enable debugging. This option takes an
integer number as its argument. The value of num is constrained
to being:
in the range 0 through 9999
Specifies the debug level.
-V, --verbose More verbose output.
-p num, --port=num The port to connect to. This option takes an
integer number as its argument. The value of num is constrained
to being:
in the range 0 through 65536
--app-proto This is 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).
Specify the application layer protocol for STARTTLS. If the
protocol is supported, gnutls-cli will proceed to the TLS
negotiation.
--attime=timestamp Perform validation at the timestamp instead of
the system time.
timestamp is an instance in time encoded as Unix time or in a
human
readable timestring such as "29 Feb 2004", "2004-02-29". Full
documentation available at
<https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/Date-input-formats.html>
or locally via info '(coreutils) date invocation'.
-v arg, --version=arg Output version of program and exit. The
default mode is `v', a simple version. The `c' mode will print
copyright information and `n' will print the full copyright
notice.
-h, --help Display usage information and exit.
-!, --more-help Pass the extended usage information through a
pager.
