iOS -- look inside provisioning profile?

Question

Is it possible to inspect the insides of a provisioning profile? I am dealing with a code signing error because the entitlements do not match. Fixing this is rather difficult as I don't know how to inspect the entitlements in the provisioning profile. Hence I am shooting in the dark.

Related questions, none of which seem to help in my case:

• Code sign error with Xcode 3.2
• The executable was signed with invalid entitlements
• iPhone Entitlements problem with XCode 4 for Ad Hoc distribution

You can also do a text dump by typing

security cms -D -i <prov>

FWIW

• security is to Administer Keychains, keys, certificates and the Security framework.

• cms is a command within the security framework it stands for Cryptographic Message Syntax

• -D is for decoding

• -i means infile use infile as source of data (default: stdin)
