The converse operation is "sq verify".

- -B, --binary

- --detached

- --cleartext-signature

- -a, --append
Appends a signature to existing signature
- -n, --notarize

- -t, --time TIME

- --notation NAME
Adds a notation to the certification. A user-defined notation's name must be of the form "name@a.domain.you.control.org". If the notation's name starts with a !, then the notation is marked as being critical. If a consumer of a signature doesn't understand a critical notation, then it will ignore the signature. The notation is marked as being human readable.
Args
- FILE
Reads from FILE or stdin if omitted

- # Create a detached signature
$ sq sign --detached --signer-key juliet.pgp message.txt
