feat: get information about a given certificate
Read the domain name from the CLI, and get and print information about the certificate to STDOUT. The output looks like this: ``` > ./target/debug/x509-info badssl.com Subject: CN=*.badssl.com O= L= Issuer: CN=R3 O=Let's Encrypt L= DNS Names: *.badssl.com, badssl.com Validity Period Not before: 2022-08-12T07:57:46-07:00 Not After: 2022-11-10T06:57:45-08:00 ```

+# x509-info
+
+At this point it's pretty clear that I'll never remember the syntax for `openssl` to show various information about a certificate. At last I will not have to google for that syntax ever again.
+
+``` shell
+$ x509-info github.com
+ Subject: CN=github.com O=GitHub, Inc. L=San Francisco
+ Issuer: CN=DigiCert TLS Hybrid ECC SHA384 2020 CA1 O=DigiCert Inc L=
+ DNS Names: github.com, www.github.com
+ Validity Period
+ Not before: 2022-03-14T17:00:00-07:00
+ Not After: 2023-03-15T16:59:59-07:00
+```
+
+Could the same be achieved with a wrapper around `openssl` ? yes.
