TLS debug client. It sets up multiple TLS connections to
a server and queries its capabilities. It was created to assist in debugging
GnuTLS, but it might be useful to extract a TLS server's capabilities.
It connects to a TLS server, performs tests and print the server's
capabilities. If called with the `-V' parameter more checks will be performed.
Can be used to check for servers with special needs or bugs.

@cindex gnutls-cli-debug help
This is the automatically generated usage text for gnutls-cli-debug.
The text printed is the same whether selected with the @code{help} option
(@option{--help}) or the @code{more-help} option (@option{--more-help}). @code{more-help} will print
the usage text by passing it through a pager program.
@code{more-help} is disabled on platforms without a working
@code{fork(2)} function. The @code{PAGER} environment variable is
used to select the program, defaulting to @file{more}. Both will exit
with a status code of 0.

gnutls-cli-debug - GnuTLS debug client
Usage: gnutls-cli-debug [ -<flag> [<val>] | --<name>[@{=| @}<val>] ]...
-d, --debug=num Enable debugging
- it must be in the range:
0 to 9999
-V, --verbose More verbose output
- may appear multiple times
-p, --port=num The port to connect to
- it must be in the range:
0 to 65536
--app-proto=str an alias for the 'starttls-proto' option
--starttls-proto=str The application protocol to be used to obtain the server's certificate
(https, ftp, smtp, imap, ldap, xmpp, lmtp, pop3, nntp, sieve, postgres)
-v, --version[=arg] output version information and exit
-h, --help display extended usage information and exit
-!, --more-help extended usage information passed thru pager
Options are specified by doubled hyphens and their name or by a single
hyphen and the flag character.

@subheading debug option (-d)
This is the ``enable debugging'' option.
This option takes a number argument.
Specifies the debug level.
@anchor{gnutls-cli-debug app-proto}
@subheading app-proto option
This is an alias for the @code{starttls-proto} option,
@pxref{gnutls-cli-debug starttls-proto, the starttls-proto option documentation}.
@anchor{gnutls-cli-debug starttls-proto}
@subheading starttls-proto option
This is the ``the application protocol to be used to obtain the server's certificate (https, ftp, smtp, imap, ldap, xmpp, lmtp, pop3, nntp, sieve, postgres)'' option.
This option takes a string argument.
Specify the application layer protocol for STARTTLS. If the protocol is supported, gnutls-cli will proceed to the TLS negotiation.
@anchor{gnutls-cli-debug exit status}
@subheading gnutls-cli-debug exit status
One of the following exit values will be returned:
@table @samp
@item 0 (EXIT_SUCCESS)
Successful program execution.
@item 1 (EXIT_FAILURE)
The operation failed or the command syntax was not valid.
