I don't want to sound rude but if you don't know what it does you probably won't need it/won't be able to use it...

It's really only useful if you're running a altwfc server considering nearly all wii games are offline now. Even then I'm not entirely sure how useful this feature actually will be...

I agree, very unlikely to be helpful for users. But IMO we should at least provide a simple non-rude description here:
It dumps all SSL options, like used certificates + keys (of the client + server), the configured CA, ...
At least that's what I guess it do, for everything else, I'd link to the actual source code.

So, for users, this could be used to eg debug SSL errors for custom servers, maybe also to load custom certificates. But I doubt there is a real use for it.
