    <p>
      Specifies a PEM file that contains one or more additional certificates
      to send to SSL/TLS peers.  <var>peer-cacert.pem</var> should be the CA
      certificate used to sign the program's own certificate, that is, the
      certificate specified on <code>-c</code> or <code>--certificate</code>.
      If the program's certificate is self-signed, then
      <code>--certificate</code> and <code>--peer-ca-cert</code> should specify
      the same file.
    </p>
    <p>
      This option is not useful in normal operation, because the SSL/TLS peer
      must already have the CA certificate for the peer to have any
      confidence in the program's identity.  However, this offers a way for
      a new installation to bootstrap the CA certificate on its first SSL/TLS
      connection.
