NAME

sq - A command-line frontend for Sequoia, an implementation of OpenPGP

SYNOPSIS

sq [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-f|--force] [ --known-notation] <subcommands>

DESCRIPTION

A command-line frontend for Sequoia, an implementation of OpenPGP
Functionality is grouped and available using subcommands. Currently, this interface is completely stateless. Therefore, you need to supply all configuration and certificates explicitly on each invocation.
OpenPGP data can be provided in binary or ASCII armored form. This will be handled automatically. Emitted OpenPGP data is ASCII armored by default.
We use the term "certificate", or cert for short, to refer to OpenPGP keys that do not contain secrets. Conversely, we use the term "key" to refer to OpenPGP keys that do contain secrets.

OPTIONS

-h, --help
Print help information
-V, --version
Print version information
-f, --force
Overwrites existing files
--known-notation=NOTATION
Adds NOTATION to the list of known notations. This is used when validating signatures. Signatures that have unknown notations with the critical bit set are considered invalid.
