Add a User ID

Synopsis

sq key userid add [Options] FILE USERID

Description

Add a User ID.

A User ID can contain a name, like `Juliet` or an email address, like `<juliet@example.org>`.  Historically, a name and email address were often combined as a single User ID, like `Juliet <juliet@example.org>`.

`sq userid add` respects the reference time set by the top-level `--time` argument.  It sets the creation time of the User ID's binding signature to the specified time.

Options
