		Name:   "verify",
		Action: cli.ActionFunc(verifyAction),
		Usage:  `verify a certificate.`,
		UsageText: `**step certificate verify** <crt_file> [**--host**=<host>]
		[**--roots**=<root-bundle>]`,
		Description: `**step certificate verify** executes the certificate path
validation algorithm for x.509 certificates defined in RFC 5280. If the
certificate is valid this command will return '0'. If validation fails, or if
an error occurs, this command will produce a non-zero return value.

## POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

<crt_file>
: The path to a certificate to validate.

## EXIT CODES

This command returns 0 on success and \>0 if any error occurs.

## EXAMPLES

Verify a certificate using your operating system's default root certificate bundle:

'''
$ step certificate verify ./certificate.crt
'''

Verify a certificate using a custom root certificate for path validation:

'''
$ step certificate verify ./certificate.crt --roots ./root-certificate.crt
'''

Verify a certificate using a custom list of root certificates for path validation:

'''
$ step certificate verify ./certificate.crt \
--roots "./root-certificate.crt,./root-certificate2.crt,/root-certificate3.crt"
'''

Verify a certificate using a custom directory of root certificates for path validation:

'''
$ step certificate verify ./certificate.crt --roots "./path/to/root-certificates/"
'''
