The signature file(1,n) is the file(1,n) containing the PKCS7 structure to be
verified. Now it is possible to verify(1,8) only PEM formatted pkcs7, such
files do have header and footer lines as follows:
-----BEGIN PKCS7----- ASDADSSDASDASDa.... ...................
....DSDSADADSADS== -----END PKCS7-----
Providing the -cf file(1,n) usually will fit for most applications, however
if(3,n) you have chained certificates you can use the -cd certsdir to spec-
ify the directory where CA certificates (and hashes values) are kept.
