NAME

       sq key expire - Change expiration times

SYNOPSIS

       sq key expire [OPTIONS] EXPIRY FILE

DESCRIPTION

       Change expiration times.

       Keys and their individual subkeys can expire.  This subcommand changes or clears the expiration times.

       By  default,  the expiration time of the entire key is changed.  To change the expiration of only some of
       the subkeys, use the `--subkey` option.

OPTIONS

   Subcommand options
       -B, --binary
              Emit binary data

       -o, --output=FILE
              Write to FILE or stdout if omitted

       --subkey=SUBKEY
              Change expiration of this subkey, not the entire key

        EXPIRY
              Define EXPIRY for the key as ISO 8601  formatted  string  or  custom  duration.  If  an  ISO  8601
              formatted  string  is  provided,  the  validity period reaches from the reference time (may be set
              using `--time`) to the provided time. Custom durations starting from the reference time may be set
              using  `N[ymwds]`,  for N years, months, weeks, days, or seconds. The special keyword `never` sets
              an unlimited expiry.

        FILE  Read from FILE or stdin if omitted

   Global options
       See sq(1) for a description of the global options.
