	<title>List Modules</title>

	<para>List system configured PKCS#11 modules.</para>

<programlisting>
$ p11-kit list-modules
</programlisting>

	<para>The modules, information about them and the tokens present in
	the PKCS#11 modules will be displayed.</para>

	<title>Extract</title>

	<para>Extract certificates from configured PKCS#11 modules.</para>

<programlisting>
$ p11-kit extract --format=x509-directory --filter=ca-certificates /path/to/directory
</programlisting>

	<para>You can specify the following options to control what to extract.
	The <option>--filter</option> and <option>--format</option> arguments
	should be specified. By default this command will not overwrite the
	destination file or directory.</para>

	<title>Extract Trust</title>

	<para>Extract standard trust information files.</para>

<programlisting>
$ p11-kit extract-trust
</programlisting>

	<para>OpenSSL, GnuTLS and Java cannot currently read trust information
	directly from the trust policy module. This command extracts trust
	information such as certificate anchors for use by these libraries.</para>

	<para>What this command does, and where it extracts the files is
	distribution or site specific. Packagers or administrators are expected
	customize this command.</para>
