NAME

sq key export - Export keys from the key store

SYNOPSIS

sq key export [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Export keys from the key store.

Exports the secret key material associated with a certificate. Note that even if secret key material is available, it may not be exportable. For instance, secret key material stored on a hardware security module usually cannot be exported from the device.

Iterate over all of the specified certificates and export any keys (primary key and subkeys) with secret key material. An error is returned if any specified certificate does not contain any secret key material.

If you only want to export a particular key and not all keys associate with a certificate, use `sq key subkey export`.
