NAME¶
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".
SYNOPSIS¶
sq sign [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [--] [FILE]
FLAGS¶
- -h, --help
- Prints help information
- -B, --binary
- Emits binary data
- --detached
- Creates a detached signature
- -a, --append
- Appends a signature to existing signature
- -n, --notarize

OPTIONS¶
- -o, --output FILE
- Writes to FILE or stdout if omitted
- --merge 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.
