.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBkey\fR [\fB\-h\fR|\fB\-\-help\fR] <\fIsubcommands\fR>
.SH DESCRIPTION
Manages keys
.PP
We use the term "key" to refer to OpenPGP keys that do contain
secrets.  This subcommand provides primitives to generate and
otherwise manipulate keys.

Conversely, we use the term "certificate", or cert for short, to refer
to OpenPGP keys that do not contain secrets.  See "sq keyring" for
operations on certificates.
