Get Started

ssl2 offers both CLI (command line interface) and API (application programming interface).

# Install the package globally and command "ssl" will be available.
npm install -g ssl2

# Run for manual.
ssl2 help

It also offers API to be used in Node.js programs.

const ssl2cert = require('ssl2/cert');
ssl2cert.fingerprint('/path/to/certificate');

API

According to my design, ssl2 will be made up with several related but different toolsets. However, only cert is available now.

const ssl2cert = require('ssl2/cert');  // Recommended requirement.
const ssl2cert = requrie('ssl2').cert;  // It works but is not recommended.
