NAME

add - Adds a User ID

SYNOPSIS

add [-o|--output] [-u|--userid] [--creation-time] [--private-key-store] [-B|--binary] [-h|--help] [FILE]

DESCRIPTION

Adds a User ID

A User ID can contain a name, like "Juliet" or an email address, like "<juliet@example.org>". Historically, a name and email address were often combined as a single User ID, like "Juliet <juliet@example.org>".

OPTIONS

-o, --output=FILE

Writes to FILE or stdout if omitted

-u, --userid=USERID

User ID to add

--creation-time=CREATION_TIME

Sets the creation time of this User ID's binding signature to TIME. TIME is interpreted as an ISO 8601 timestamp. To set the creation time to June 28, 2022 at midnight UTC, you can do:

$ sq key userid add --userid "Juliet" --creation-time 20210628 \
juliet.key.pgp --output juliet-new.key.pgp

To include a time, add a T, the time and optionally the timezone (the default timezone is UTC):

$ sq key userid add --userid "Juliet" --creation-time 20210628T1137+0200 \
juliet.key.pgp --output juliet-new.key.pgp

--private-key-store=KEY_STORE

Provides parameters for private key store

-B, --binary

Emits binary data

-h, --help

[FILE]

Reads from FILE or stdin if omitted

EXAMPLES

First, this generates a key

sq key generate --userid "<juliet@example.org>" --export juliet.key.pgp

Then, this adds a User ID

sq key userid add --userid "Juliet" juliet.key.pgp \

--output juliet-new.key.pgp
