CRLs are lists that are published either regularly or irregularly to help to report the latest revocation status of certs. The list contains of serial numbers of certs that have been revocated and reseaons for it, if there is any. If you have interest, you can go to IETF's pkix working group to see corresponding RFCs. Hope can be of help.
