Infrastructure for templated doc in POD files
Use new doc-build capabilities Add -i flag to dofile. Add doc/man1 to SUBDIRS for the new templated doc files Rewrite commit a397aca (merged from PR 10118) to use the doc-template stuff. Put template references in common place Template options and text come at the end of command-specific options: opt_x, opt_trust, opt_r (in that order). Refactor xchain options. Do doc-nits after building generated sources.

-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-This command handles S/MIME mail. It can encrypt, decrypt, sign
-and verify S/MIME messages.
-
-=head1 OPTIONS
-
-There are six operation options that set the type of operation to be performed.
-The meaning of the other options varies according to the operation type.
-
-=over 4
-
-=item B<-help>
-
-Print out a usage message.
-
-=item B<-encrypt>
-
-Encrypt mail for the given recipient certificates. Input file is the message
-to be encrypted. The output file is the encrypted mail in MIME format.
-
-Note that no revocation check is done for the recipient cert, so if that
-key has been compromised, others may be able to decrypt the text.
-
-=item B<-decrypt>
-
-Decrypt mail using the supplied certificate and private key. Expects an
-encrypted mail message in MIME format for the input file. The decrypted mail
-is written to the output file.
-
-=item B<-sign>
-
-Sign mail using the supplied certificate and private key. Input file is
-the message to be signed. The signed message in MIME format is written
-to the output file.
-
-=item B<-verify>
-
-Verify signed mail. Expects a signed mail message on input and outputs
-the signed data. Both clear text and opaque signing is supported.
-
-=item B<-pk7out>
-
-Takes an input message and writes out a PEM encoded PKCS#7 structure.
-
-=item B<-resign>
-
-Resign a message: take an existing message and one or more new signers.
-
-=item B<-in> I<filename>
-
-The input message to be encrypted or signed or the MIME message to
-be decrypted or verified.
-
-=item B<-out> I<filename>
-
-The message text that has been decrypted or verified or the output MIME
-format message that has been signed or verified.
-
-=item B<-inform> B<DER>|B<PEM>|B<SMIME>
-
-The input format of the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) structure (if one is being read);
-the default is B<SMIME>.
-See L<openssl(1)/Format Options> for details.
-
-=item B<-outform> B<DER>|B<PEM>|B<SMIME>
-
-The output format of the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) structure (if one is being written);
-the default is B<SMIME>.
-See L<openssl(1)/Format Options> for details.
-
-=item B<-keyform> B<DER>|B<PEM>
-
-The key format; the default is B<PEM>.
-See L<openssl(1)/Format Options> for details.
-
-=item B<-stream>, B<-indef>, B<-noindef>
-
-The B<-stream> and B<-indef> options are equivalent and enable streaming I/O
-for encoding operations. This permits single pass processing of data without
-the need to hold the entire contents in memory, potentially supporting very
-large files. Streaming is automatically set for S/MIME signing with detached
-data if the output format is B<SMIME> it is currently off by default for all
-other operations.
-
-=item B<-noindef>
-
-Disable streaming I/O where it would produce and indefinite length constructed
-encoding. This option currently has no effect. In future streaming will be
-enabled by default on all relevant operations and this option will disable it.
-
-=item B<-content> I<filename>
-
-This specifies a file containing the detached content, this is only
-useful with the B<-verify> command. This is only usable if the PKCS#7
-structure is using the detached signature form where the content is
-not included. This option will override any content if the input format
-is S/MIME and it uses the multipart/signed MIME content type.
-
-=item B<-text>
-
-This option adds plain text (text/plain) MIME headers to the supplied
-message if encrypting or signing. If decrypting or verifying it strips
-off text headers: if the decrypted or verified message is not of MIME
-type text/plain then an error occurs.
-
-=item B<-CAfile> I<file>, B<-no-CAfile>, B<-CApath> I<dir>, B<-no-CApath>
-
-See L<openssl(1)/Trusted Certificate Options> for more information.
-
-=item B<-md> I<digest>
-
-Digest algorithm to use when signing or resigning. If not present then the
-default digest algorithm for the signing key will be used (usually SHA1).
-
-=item B<-I<cipher>>
-
-The encryption algorithm to use. For example DES (56 bits) - B<-des>,
-triple DES (168 bits) - B<-des3>,
-EVP_get_cipherbyname() function) can also be used preceded by a dash, for
-example B<-aes-128-cbc>. See L<openssl-enc(1)> for list of ciphers
-supported by your version of OpenSSL.
-
-If not specified triple DES is used. Only used with B<-encrypt>.
-
-=item B<-nointern>
-
-When verifying a message normally certificates (if any) included in
-the message are searched for the signing certificate. With this option
-only the certificates specified in the B<-certfile> option are used.
-The supplied certificates can still be used as untrusted CAs however.
-
-=item B<-noverify>
-
-Do not verify the signers certificate of a signed message.
-
-=item B<-nochain>
-
-Do not do chain verification of signers certificates: that is don't
-use the certificates in the signed message as untrusted CAs.
-
-=item B<-nosigs>
-
-Don't try to verify the signatures on the message.
-
-=item B<-nocerts>
-
-When signing a message the signer's certificate is normally included
-with this option it is excluded. This will reduce the size of the
-signed message but the verifier must have a copy of the signers certificate
-available locally (passed using the B<-certfile> option for example).
-
-=item B<-noattr>
-
-Normally when a message is signed a set of attributes are included which
-include the signing time and supported symmetric algorithms. With this
-option they are not included.
-
-=item B<-binary>
-
-Normally the input message is converted to "canonical" format which is
-effectively using CR and LF as end of line: as required by the S/MIME
-specification. When this option is present no translation occurs. This
-is useful when handling binary data which may not be in MIME format.
-
-=item B<-crlfeol>
-
-Normally the output file uses a single B<LF> as end of line. When this
-option is present B<CRLF> is used instead.
-
-=item B<-nodetach>
-
-When signing a message use opaque signing: this form is more resistant
-to translation by mail relays but it cannot be read by mail agents that
-do not support S/MIME. Without this option cleartext signing with
-the MIME type multipart/signed is used.
-
-=item B<-certfile> I<file>
-
-Allows additional certificates to be specified. When signing these will
-be included with the message. When verifying these will be searched for
-the signers certificates. The certificates should be in PEM format.
-
-=item B<-signer> I<file>
-
-A signing certificate when signing or resigning a message, this option can be
-used multiple times if more than one signer is required. If a message is being
-verified then the signers certificates will be written to this file if the
-verification was successful.
-
-=item B<-recip> I<file>
-
-The recipients certificate when decrypting a message. This certificate
-must match one of the recipients of the message or an error occurs.
-
-=item B<-inkey> I<file_or_id>
-
-The private key to use when signing or decrypting. This must match the
-corresponding certificate. If this option is not specified then the
-private key must be included in the certificate file specified with
-the B<-recip> or B<-signer> file. When signing this option can be used
-multiple times to specify successive keys.
-If no engine is used, the argument is taken as a file; if an engine is
-specified, the argument is given to the engine as a key identifier.
-
-=item B<-passin> I<arg>
-
-The private key password source. For more information about the format of I<arg>
-see L<openssl(1)/Pass Phrase Options>.
-
-=item B<-rand> I<files>, B<-writerand> I<file>
-
-See L<openssl(1)/Random State Options> for more information.
-
-=item B<-to>, B<-from>, B<-subject>
-
-The relevant mail headers. These are included outside the signed
-portion of a message so they may be included manually. If signing
-then many S/MIME mail clients check the signers certificate's email
-address matches that specified in the From: address.

-
-=head1 NOTES
-
-The MIME message must be sent without any blank lines between the
-headers and the output. Some mail programs will automatically add
-a blank line. Piping the mail directly to sendmail is one way to
-achieve the correct format.
-
-The supplied message to be signed or encrypted must include the
-necessary MIME headers or many S/MIME clients won't display it
-properly (if at all). You can use the B<-text> option to automatically
-add plain text headers.
-
-A "signed and encrypted" message is one where a signed message is
-then encrypted. This can be produced by encrypting an already signed
-message: see the examples section.
-
-This version of the program only allows one signer per message but it
-will verify multiple signers on received messages. Some S/MIME clients
-choke if a message contains multiple signers. It is possible to sign
-messages "in parallel" by signing an already signed message.
-
-The options B<-encrypt> and B<-decrypt> reflect common usage in S/MIME
-clients. Strictly speaking these process PKCS#7 enveloped data: PKCS#7
-encrypted data is used for other purposes.
-
-The B<-resign> option uses an existing message digest when adding a new
-signer. This means that attributes must be present in at least one existing
-signer using the same message digest or this operation will fail.
-
-The B<-stream> and B<-indef> options enable streaming I/O support.
-As a result the encoding is BER using indefinite length constructed encoding
-and no longer DER. Streaming is supported for the B<-encrypt> operation and the
-B<-sign> operation if the content is not detached.
-
-Streaming is always used for the B<-sign> operation with detached data but
-since the content is no longer part of the PKCS#7 structure the encoding
-remains DER.

-=head1 EXAMPLES
-
-Create a cleartext signed message:
-
- openssl smime -sign -in message.txt -text -out mail.msg \
- -signer mycert.pem
-
-Create an opaque signed message:
-
- openssl smime -sign -in message.txt -text -out mail.msg -nodetach \
- -signer mycert.pem
-
-Create a signed message, include some additional certificates and
-read the private key from another file:
-
- openssl smime -sign -in in.txt -text -out mail.msg \
- -signer mycert.pem -inkey mykey.pem -certfile mycerts.pem
-
-Create a signed message with two signers:
-
- openssl smime -sign -in message.txt -text -out mail.msg \
- -signer mycert.pem -signer othercert.pem
-
-Send a signed message under Unix directly to sendmail, including headers:
-
- openssl smime -sign -in in.txt -text -signer mycert.pem \
- -from steve@openssl.org -to someone@somewhere \
- -subject "Signed message" | sendmail someone@somewhere
-
-Verify a message and extract the signer's certificate if successful:
-
- openssl smime -verify -in mail.msg -signer user.pem -out signedtext.txt
-
-Send encrypted mail using triple DES:
-
- openssl smime -encrypt -in in.txt -from steve@openssl.org \
- -to someone@somewhere -subject "Encrypted message" \
- -des3 user.pem -out mail.msg
-
-Sign and encrypt mail:
-
- openssl smime -sign -in ml.txt -signer my.pem -text \
- | openssl smime -encrypt -out mail.msg \
- -from steve@openssl.org -to someone@somewhere \
- -subject "Signed and Encrypted message" -des3 user.pem
-
-Note: the encryption command does not include the B<-text> option because the
-message being encrypted already has MIME headers.
-
-Decrypt mail:
-
- openssl smime -decrypt -in mail.msg -recip mycert.pem -inkey key.pem
-
-The output from Netscape form signing is a PKCS#7 structure with the
-detached signature format. You can use this program to verify the
-signature by line wrapping the base64 encoded structure and surrounding
-it with:
-
- -----BEGIN PKCS7-----
- -----END PKCS7-----
-
-and using the command:
-
- openssl smime -verify -inform PEM -in signature.pem -content content.txt
-
-Alternatively you can base64 decode the signature and use:
-
- openssl smime -verify -inform DER -in signature.der -content content.txt
-
-Create an encrypted message using 128 bit Camellia:
-
- openssl smime -encrypt -in plain.txt -camellia128 -out mail.msg cert.pem
-
-Add a signer to an existing message:
-
- openssl smime -resign -in mail.msg -signer newsign.pem -out mail2.msg
-
-=head1 BUGS
-
-The MIME parser isn't very clever: it seems to handle most messages that I've
-thrown at it but it may choke on others.
-
-The code currently will only write out the signer's certificate to a file: if
-the signer has a separate encryption certificate this must be manually
-extracted. There should be some heuristic that determines the correct
-encryption certificate.
-
-Ideally a database should be maintained of a certificates for each email
-address.
-
-The code doesn't currently take note of the permitted symmetric encryption
-algorithms as supplied in the SMIMECapabilities signed attribute. This means the
-user has to manually include the correct encryption algorithm. It should store
-the list of permitted ciphers in a database and only use those.
-
-No revocation checking is done on the signer's certificate.
-
-The current code can only handle S/MIME v2 messages, the more complex S/MIME v3
-structures may cause parsing errors.
-
-=head1 HISTORY
-
-The use of multiple B<-signer> options and the B<-resign> command were first
-added in OpenSSL 1.0.0
-
-The -no_alt_chains option was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
