+.TH mk-ca-bundle 1 "5 Jan 2013" "version 1.17" "mk-ca-bundle manual"
+.SH NAME
+mk-ca-bundle \- convert mozilla's certdata.txt to PEM format
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+mk-ca-bundle [bilnqtuv]
+.I [outputfile]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The mk-ca-bundle tool downloads the certdata.txt file from Mozilla's source
+tree over HTTP, then parses certdata.txt and extracts CA Root Certificates
+into PEM format. These are then processed with the OpenSSL commandline tool
+to produce the final ca-bundle file.
+
+The default \fIoutputfile\fP name is \fBca-bundle.crt\fP. By setting it to '-'
+(a single dash) you will get the output sent to STDOUT instead of a file.
+
+The PEM format this scripts uses for output makes the result readily available
+for use by just about all OpenSSL or GnuTLS powered applications, such as
+curl, wget and more.
+.SH OPTIONS
+The following options are supported:
+.IP -b
+backup an existing version of \fIoutputfilename\fP
+.IP -f
+force rebuild even if certdata.txt is current (Added in version 1.17)
+.IP -i
+print version info about used modules
+.IP -l
+print license info about certdata.txt
+.IP -n
+no download of certdata.txt (to use existing)
+.IP -q
+be really quiet (no progress output at all)
+.IP -t
+include plain text listing of certificates
+.IP -u
+unlink (remove) certdata.txt after processing
+.IP -v
+be verbose and print out processed CAs
+.SH EXIT STATUS
+Returns 0 on success. Returns 1 if it fails to download data.
+.SH SEE ALSO
+.BR curl (1)
+.SH HISTORY
+\fBmk-ca-bundle\fP is a command line tool that is shipped as part of every
+curl and libcurl release (see http://curl.haxx.se/). It was originally based
+on the parse-certs script written by Roland Krikava and was later much
+improved by Guenter Knauf. This manual page was written by Jan Schaumann
+\&<jschauma@netmeister.org>.
