clean-crl - remove orphaned CRL like files from a certificate directory
Contents
Bugs
Does not check the contents of the files removed.
Trust Anchor Utilities local CLEAN-CRL(8)
Configuration
None.
Description
The clean-crl utility will remove CRL like files named hash.rn from the directory specified with the -l
option if there is no corresponding .n file in the same. In effect, if the directory is solely used to
hold CA certificates in the common OpenSSL format, it will thus remove CRL files for which the
corresponding CA does not or no longer exists in the directory.
Diagnostics
Exit status is normally 0; if an error occurs, exit status is 1 and diagnostics will be written to
standard error.

clean-crl - remove orphaned CRL like files from a certificate directory
Notes
This tool does not check the contents of the files removed, and will blindly unlink any file which even
remotely looks like an OpenSSL CRL file. Use with extreme caution.
Options
-h--help
Show help text.
-l--cadirmetadata-directory
The script will search this directory for files with the suffix .ri. There is no default - a
common choice is /etc/pki/tls/certs, /etc/openldap/cacerts, or /etc/grid-security/certificates.
-V--version
Display version number (same as corresponding fetch-crl)
-v--verbose
Verbose mode
-n--dryrun
Do not actually remove any files (useful primarily with -v)
