• Action is one of the following:
  • -cert: actions taken on a certificate

Action is the specific action to be taken on the object, and options are the options, both required and optional, specified for the object and action pair.

The object and action keywords are positional and must be specified in the selected order. However, options are not positional and can be specified in any order, provided that they are specified as an option and operand pair.
