Subcommand options¶

--all

Use all self-signed user IDs

--cert=FINGERPRINT|KEYID

Use certificates with the specified fingerprint or key ID

--cert-special=SPECIAL

Use certificates identified by the special name

[possible values: public-directories, keys.openpgp.org, keys.mailvelope.com, proton.me, wkd, dane, autocrypt, web]

--email=EMAIL

Use a user ID with the specified email address

The user ID consists of just the email address. The email address does not have to appear in a self-signed user ID.

--recreate

Recreate signature even if the parameters did not change

If the link parameters did not change, and thus creating a signature should not be necessary, we omit the operation. This flag can be given to force the signature to be re-created anyway.

--signature-notation NAME VALUE

Add a notation to the signature

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.

--userid=USERID

Use the specified user ID

The specified user ID does not need to be self signed.

Because using a user ID that is not self-signed is often a mistake, you need to use this option to explicitly opt in.

--userid-by-email=EMAIL

Use the self-signed user ID with the specified email address
