Does the last option ca-cert.pem just require the file name or a whole path?
(Also I just saw that this page could need a refactor for its arguments. E.g. path → path/to/stuff, keychain.name → path/to/keychain.name. Just in case you're motivated.)

The path to ca-cert.pem does need to be the whole path, will amend the example. Will also refactor the arguments accordingly!
Also, throwing a quick thanks - I've been using tldr for coming up on 7 years, and they've been incredibly helpful. I'm equally delighted that contributing improvements is a really positive experience, y'all are great!

I'm glad it's helpful to you! (And wow, 7 years ago tldr was still really small)
