What this does

  • Detects each -----BEGIN X----- / -----END X----- block.
  • Verifies the base64 body decodes cleanly.
  • Reformats each body to 64-character lines per RFC 7468.
  • Reports the byte length of the decoded DER for each block.

It does not verify signatures or parse the DER structure — if you need that, a certificate decoder is the right next step.
