sq-sign - Man Page

sq-sign — Signs messages or data files

Creates signed messages or detached signatures.  Detached signatures are often used to sign software packages.

The converse operation is "sq verify".

sq sign [Flags] [Options] [--] [FILE]

-h,  --help

Prints help information

-B,  --binary

Emits binary data

--detached

Creates a detached signature

--cleartext-signature

Creates a cleartext signature

-a,  --append

Appends a signature to existing signature

-n,  --notarize

Signs a message and all existing signatures

-o,  --output FILE

Writes to FILE or stdout if omitted

--merge SIGNED-MESSAGE

Merges signatures from the input and SIGNED-MESSAGE

--signer-key KEY

Signs using KEY

-t,  --time TIME

Chooses keys valid at the specified time and sets the signature's creation 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.

FILE

Reads from FILE or stdin if omitted
