add - Adds a User ID

SYNOPSIS¶

add [-o|--output] [-u|--userid] [--creation-time] [--private-key-store] [-B|--binary] [-h|--help] [FILE]

DESCRIPTION¶

Adds 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>".

OPTIONS¶

-o, --output=FILE

-u, --userid=USERID

--creation-time=CREATION_TIME

Sets the creation time of this User ID's binding signature to TIME. TIME is interpreted as an ISO 8601 timestamp. To set the creation time to June 28, 2022 at midnight UTC, you can do:

$ sq key userid add --userid "Juliet" --creation-time 20210628 \
juliet.key.pgp --output juliet-new.key.pgp

To include a time, add a T, the time and optionally the timezone (the default timezone is UTC):

$ sq key userid add --userid "Juliet" --creation-time 20210628T1137+0200 \
juliet.key.pgp --output juliet-new.key.pgp

--private-key-store=KEY_STORE

Provides parameters for private key store

-B, --binary

-h, --help

[FILE]

 sq key generate --userid "<juliet@example.org>" --export juliet.key.pgp
