NAME

       sq inspect - Inspect data, like file(1)

SYNOPSIS

       sq inspect [OPTIONS] FILE

DESCRIPTION

       Inspect data, like file(1).

       It is often difficult to tell from cursory inspection using cat(1) or file(1) what kind of
       OpenPGP one is looking at.  This subcommand inspects the data and  provides  a  meaningful
       human-readable description of it.

       `sq  inspect` respects the reference time set by the top-level `--time` argument.  It uses
       the reference time when determining what binding signatures are active.
