NAME
       ssh-import-id  -  retrieve  one  or  more  public  keys  from  a public
       keyserver (Launchpad.net by default) and append  them  to  the  current
       user's authorized_keys file (or some other specified file)


SYNOPSIS
       ssh-import-id [options] USER_ID_1 [USER_ID_2] ... [USER_ID_n]


OPTIONS
        -h | --help        usage
        -e  |  --environment   use  the  current  environment (by default, all
       environment variables are cleaned before importing ids)
        -o   |   --output   F    write   output   to   file    'F'    (default
       ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, use "-" for standard out)


DESCRIPTION
       This    utility    will    securely    contact   a   public   keyserver
       (https://launchpad.net by default) and  retrieve  one  or  more  user's
       public    keys,    and    append    these   to   the   current   user's
       ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.

       The  system  administrator  can  change  the   source   URL   used   by
       ssh-import-id(1)     by     editing     the     configuration     file,
       /etc/ssh/ssh_import_id, which is sourced to obtain the  value  of  URL.
       By  default,  URL="https://launchpad.net/~%s/+sshkeys".  Note that this
       url really MUST be a secure, https url with a valid, signed certificate
       or  else  your  system will be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks!
       The "%s" will be populated by ssh-import-id(1)  with  the  value(s)  of
       USER_ID_1 [USER_ID_2] ... [USER_ID_n].

       The  -e  option will be necessary if you need to use a proxy defined in
       $https_proxy, for instance.
