~~The easiest way to create self-signed certificates. Ever.~~

Handy simple tool for common certificate-related operations.

$ certainly test.example.com test2.example.com foo.local 10.0.200.36
Writing test.example.com.key
Writing test.example.com.crt

$ certainly --inspect test.example.com.crt
Self-signed certificate

## Options

 - `--std` and `--reverse-std` will output both key and certificate to STDOUT instead of writing files.
 - `--double-std` will output the key to STDERR and the certificate to STDOUT instead, so redirection can be used to write or pipe files where needed efficiently. Take care of checking the key is actually formatted properly and not an error message though!

 - `--inspect` outputs terse information about the passed certificate file (or url) and exits.

 - `--make-ca` creates a key/certificate pair suitable for issuing instead. Use with `--ca`.
 - `--ca NAME` signs a certificate with a CA pair instead of self-signing. Provide only the common filename, without the `.crt` and `.key` extensions.

 - `--client` creates client certificates rather than server ones.
 - `--rsa` creates 4096-bit RSA certificates instead of 256-bit ECDSA ones.

See [the man page](./certainly.1.ronn) for more.
