.SH "DESCRIPTION"
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.

.SH "OPTIONS"
.TP
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]\-d\f[] \f\*[I-Font]num\f[], \f\*[B-Font]\-\-debug\f[]=\f\*[I-Font]num\f[]
Enable debugging.
This option takes an integer number as its argument.
The value of
\f\*[I-Font]num\f[]
is constrained to being:
.in +4
.nf
.na
in the range 0 through 9999
.fi
.in -4
.sp
Specifies the debug level.
.TP
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]\-V\f[], \f\*[B-Font]\-\-verbose\f[]
More verbose output.
.sp
.TP
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]\-p\f[] \f\*[I-Font]num\f[], \f\*[B-Font]\-\-port\f[]=\f\*[I-Font]num\f[]
The port to connect to.
This option takes an integer number as its argument.
The value of
\f\*[I-Font]num\f[]
is constrained to being:
.in +4
.nf
.na
in the range 0 through 65536
.fi
.in -4
.sp
.TP
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]\-\-app\-proto\f[]
This is an alias for the \fI--starttls-proto\fR option.
.TP
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]\-\-starttls\-proto\f[]=\f\*[I-Font]str\f[]
The application protocol to be used to obtain the server's certificate (https, ftp, smtp, imap, ldap, xmpp, lmtp, pop3, nntp, sieve, postgres).
.sp
Specify the application layer protocol for STARTTLS. If the protocol is supported, gnutls\-cli will proceed to the TLS negotiation.
.TP
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]\-\-attime\f[]=\f\*[I-Font]timestamp\f[]
Perform validation at the timestamp instead of the system time.
.sp
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'.
.TP
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]\-v\f[] \f\*[I-Font]arg\f[], \f\*[B-Font]\-\-version\f[]=\f\*[I-Font]arg\f[]
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.
.TP
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]\-h\f[], \f\*[B-Font]\-\-help\f[]

.TP
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]\-!\f[], \f\*[B-Font]\-\-more\-help\f[]
Pass the extended usage information through a pager.
