filter

NAME

filter - Joins keys into a keyring applying a filter

SYNOPSIS

filter [-o|--output] [--userid] [--name] [--email] [--domain] [--handle] [-P|--prune-certs] [-B|--binary] [--to-cert] [-h|--help] [FILE]

DESCRIPTION

Joins keys into a keyring applying a filter

This can be used to filter keys based on given predicates, e.g. whether they have a user id containing an email address with a certain domain. Additionally, the keys can be pruned to only include components matching the predicates.

If no filters are supplied, everything matches.

If multiple predicates are given, they are or'ed, i.e. a key matches if any of the predicates match. To require all predicates to match, chain multiple invocations of this command. See EXAMPLES for inspiration.

OPTIONS

-o, --output=FILE

Writes to FILE or stdout if omitted

--userid=USERID

Case-sensitively matches on the user id, requiring an exact match.

--name=NAME

Parses user ids into name and email and case-sensitively matches on the name, requiring an exact match.

--email=ADDRESS

Parses user ids into name and email address and case-sensitively matches on the email address, requiring an exact match.

--domain=FQDN

Parses user ids into name and email address and case-sensitively matches on the domain of the email address, requiring an exact match.

--handle=FINGERPRINT|KEYID

Matches on both primary keys and subkeys, including those certificates that match the given fingerprint or key id.

-P, --prune-certs

Removes certificate components not matching the filter

-B, --binary

Emits binary data

--to-cert

Converts any keys in the input to certificates. Converting a key to a certificate removes secret key material from the key thereby turning it into a certificate.

-h, --help

Print help information

[FILE]

Reads from FILE or stdin if omitted

EXAMPLES

Converts a key to a cert (i.e., remove any secret key material)

sq keyring filter --to-cert cat juliet.pgp

Gets the keys with a user id on example.org

sq keyring filter --domain example.org keys.pgp

Gets the keys with a user id on example.org or example.net

sq keyring filter --domain example.org --domain example.net keys.pgp

Gets the keys with a user id with the name Juliet

sq keyring filter --name Juliet keys.pgp

Gets the keys with a user id with the name Juliet on example.org

sq keyring filter --domain example.org keys.pgp | \

sq keyring filter --name Juliet

Gets the keys with a user id on example.org, pruning other userids

sq keyring filter --domain example.org --prune-certs certs.pgp
