REQ Command

Available arguments are:

[-in] input file to read from
[-out] file to write to (default stdout)
[-key] public key to put into certificate request
[-inform] der or pem format for '-in' (defaults to pem)
[-outform] der or pem format for '-out' (defaults to pem)
[-config] file to parse for certificate configuration
[-days] number of days should be valid for
[-x509] generate self signed certificate

Example:

wolfssl ecparam -genkey -out ecc.key -name secp384r1
wolfssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -config selfsigned.conf -key ecc.key -out ecc.cert \
-outform der -sha256
