NAME

       sq - A command-line frontend for Sequoia, an implementation of OpenPGP

SYNOPSIS

       sq [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-f|--force] [--known-notation] <subcommands>

DESCRIPTION

       A command-line frontend for Sequoia, an implementation of OpenPGP

       Functionality  is  grouped  and available using subcommands.  Currently, this interface is
       completely stateless.  Therefore, you need to supply all  configuration  and  certificates
       explicitly on each invocation.

       OpenPGP  data  can  be  provided  in  binary  or ASCII armored form.  This will be handled
       automatically.  Emitted OpenPGP data is ASCII armored by default.

       We use the term "certificate", or cert for short, to refer to OpenPGP  keys  that  do  not
       contain  secrets.   Conversely,  we  use  the  term "key" to refer to OpenPGP keys that do
       contain secrets.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Print help information

       -V, --version
              Print version information

       -f, --force
              Overwrites existing files

       --known-notation=NOTATION
              Adds NOTATION to the  list  of  known  notations.  This  is  used  when  validating
              signatures.  Signatures  that  have unknown notations with the critical bit set are
              considered invalid.
