   1 .IP "\fB\-p\fR \fIprivkey.pem\fR"
   2 .IQ "\fB\-\-private\-key=\fIprivkey.pem\fR"
   3 Specifies a PEM file containing the private key used as \fB\*(PN\fR's
   4 identity for outgoing SSL connections.
   5 .
   6 .IP "\fB\-c\fR \fIcert.pem\fR"
   7 .IQ "\fB\-\-certificate=\fIcert.pem\fR"
   8 Specifies a PEM file containing a certificate that certifies the
   9 private key specified on \fB\-p\fR or \fB\-\-private\-key\fR to be
  10 trustworthy.  The certificate must be signed by the certificate
  11 authority (CA) that the peer in SSL connections will use to verify it.
  12 .
  13 .IP "\fB\-C\fR \fIcacert.pem\fR"
  14 .IQ "\fB\-\-ca\-cert=\fIcacert.pem\fR"
  15 Specifies a PEM file containing the CA certificate that \fB\*(PN\fR
  16 should use to verify certificates presented to it by SSL peers.  (This
  17 may be the same certificate that SSL peers use to verify the
  18 certificate specified on \fB\-c\fR or \fB\-\-certificate\fR, or it may
  19 be a different one, depending on the PKI design in use.)
  20 .
  21 .IP "\fB\-C none\fR"
  22 .IQ "\fB\-\-ca\-cert=none\fR"
  23 Disables verification of certificates presented by SSL peers.  This
  24 introduces a security risk, because it means that certificates cannot
  25 be verified to be those of known trusted hosts.
