1008 .Sy PARTIAL PATHS AND WILDCARDS
1010 Prior to 10.5.4, identity preferences for SSL/TLS client authentication could only be set on a per-URL basis. The
1011 URL being visited had to match the service name exactly for the preference to be in effect.
1013 In 10.5.4, it became possible to specify identity preferences on a per-server basis, by using
1014 a service name with a partial path URL to match more specific paths on the same server. For
1015 example, if an identity preference for "https://www.apache-ssl.org/" exists, it will be in effect for
1016 "https://www.apache-ssl.org/cgi/cert-export", and so on. Note that partial path URLs must end with a trailing
1019 Starting with 10.6, it is possible to specify identity preferences on a per-domain
1020 basis, by using the wildcard character '*' as the leftmost component of the service name. Unlike SSL wildcards,
1021 an identity preference wildcard can match more than one subdomain. For example, an identity preference for
1022 the name "*.army.mil" will match "server1.subdomain1.army.mil" or "server2.subdomain2.army.mil". Likewise,
1023 a preference for "*.mil" will match both "server.army.mil" and "server.navy.mil".

1118 Specify keychain from which item(s) will be exported.
1120 Specify the type of items to export. Possible types are certs, allKeys, pubKeys, privKeys, identities, and all. The default is all. An identity consists of both a certificate and the corresponding private key.
1122 Specify the format of the exported data. Possible formats are openssl, bsafe, pkcs7, pkcs8, pkcs12, x509, openssh1, openssh2, and pemseq. The default is pemseq if more than one item is being exported. The default is openssl if one key is being exported. The default is x509 if one certificate is being exported.
1124 Specifies that private keys are to be wrapped on export.
1126 Specifies that PEM armour is to be applied to the output data.
1127 .It Fl P Ar passphrase
1128 Specify the wrapping passphrase immediately. The default is to obtain a secure passphrase via GUI.

Pub, priv, and session refer to keys; agg is one of the aggregate types (pkcs12 and PEM sequence). The command can often figure out what item_type an item contains based in the filename and/or item_format.
1165 Specify the format of the exported data. Possible formats are openssl, bsafe, raw, pkcs7, pkcs8, pkcs12, x509, openssh1, openssh2, and pemseq. The command can often figure out what format an item is in based in the filename and/or item_type.

1460 Avoid searching any keychains.
1462 Use local certificates only. If an issuing CA certificate is missing, this option will avoid accessing the network to fetch it.
1464 Specifies that the leaf certificate is a CA cert. By default, a leaf certificate with a Basic Constraints extension with the CA bit set fails verification.

The offline option will consult previously cached responses, but will not make a request to a revocation server.
