I'm very confused about puppet certificate and ca management.

There is many puppet command to do the work :

  ca                Local Puppet Certificate Authority management.
  cert              Manage certificates and requests
  certificate       Provide access to the CA for certificate management.
  certificate_request  Manage certificate requests.
  certificate_revocation_list  Manage the list of revoked certificates.

Why so many ?

And worse :
USAGE: puppet ca <action> 

This provides local management of the Puppet Certificate Authority.

OPTIONS:
  --render-as FORMAT             - The rendering format to use.
  --verbose                      - Whether to log verbosely.
  --debug                        - Whether to log debug information.

ACTIONS:
  destroy        undocumented action
  fingerprint    undocumented action
  generate       undocumented action
  list           List certificates and/or certificate requests.
  print          undocumented action
  revoke         undocumented action
  sign           undocumented action
  verify         undocumented action

There is a lot of old and deprecated informations in the web, many talking 
about puppetca which is dead.

When I look at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/, or 
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_summary.html, I don't 
see a lot of informations. The section “SSL and Certificates” don't provides 
any basic information and only talk about some specific case.

Can someone show me some up-to-date documentation about that ?
