+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility manages certificates used by OpenSSL-based applications as
+trust anchors for certificate validation in TLS or other purposes,
+for example by
+.Xr ftp 1
+in HTTPS.
+.Nm
+allows configuring the set of certificates and persistently excluding
+individual certificates.
+.Pp
+For trust anchors to validate TLS certificates, OpenSSL applications
+typically use a directory at
+.Pa /etc/openssl/certs
+of hashed certificates in PEM format, with names like
+.Pa "3513523f.0"
+used for lookup; see
+.Xr openssl_rehash 1 .
+.Pp
+.Nm
+scans all directories in the certificate search path specified by the
+configuration file
+.Ar config
+.Pq default: Pa /etc/openssl/certs.conf
+for files called
+.Pa *.cer ,
+.Pa *.crt ,
+or
+.Pa *.pem
+in PEM format, and keeps
+.Ar certsdir
+.Pq default: Pa /etc/openssl/certs
+populated with:
+.Bl -dash
+.It
+symlinks to the original files in the certificate search path, for
+applications that scan a directory for all files matching
+.Pa *.cer ,
+.Pa *.crt ,
+or
+.Pa *.pem ;
+.It
+hashed symlinks as in
+.Xr openssl_rehash 1 ; and
+.It
+a single-file bundle
+.Pa ca-certificates.crt
+concatenating all the certificates in PEM format.
+.El
+.Pp
+.Nm
+will exclude from
+.Ar certsdir
+any certificates that have been marked untrustworthy with
+.Nm Cm untrust ,
+which are persistently maintained in the private state directory
+.Ar distrustdir
+.Pq default: Pa /etc/openssl/untrusted .
+.Pp
+.Nm
+treats
+.Ar config
+and
+.Ar distrustdir
+as configuration, and treats
+.Ar certsdir
+strictly as a cache that can be safely deleted and rebuilt with
+.Nm Cm rehash .
