NAME

sq−key−userid−add − Add a user ID

SYNOPSIS

sq key userid add [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Add a user ID.

A user ID can contain a name, like ‘Juliet‘, or an email address, like ‘<[email protected]>‘. Historically, a name and an email address were usually combined as a single user ID, like ‘Juliet <[email protected]>‘. However, user IDs that include different information such as name and email address are more difficult to reason about, so using distinct user IDs for name and email address is preferred nowadays.

‘sq key userid add‘ respects the reference time set by the top−level ‘−−time‘ argument. It sets the creation time of the user ID’s binding signature to the specified time.

OPTIONS

Subcommand options

−−allow−non−canonical−userids

Don’t reject user IDs that are not in canonical form

Canonical user IDs are of the form ‘Name (Comment) <[email protected]>‘.

−−cert=FINGERPRINT|KEYID

Add the user ID to the key with the specified fingerprint or key ID

−−cert−email=EMAIL

Add the user ID to the key where a user ID includes the specified email address

−−cert−file=PATH

Add the user ID to the key read from PATH

−−cert−userid=USERID

Add the user ID to the key with the specified user ID

−−email=ADDRESS

Add an email address as user ID to the key

−−name=NAME

Add a name as user ID to the key

−−output=FILE

Write to the specified FILE

If not specified, and the certificate was read from the certificate store, imports the modified certificate into the cert store. If not specified, and the certificate was read from a file, writes the modified certificate to stdout.

−−userid=USERID

Add a user ID to the key

This user ID can combine name and email address, can optionally contain a comment, or even be free−form if ‘−−allow−non−canonical−userids‘ is given. However, user IDs that include different information such as name and email address are more difficult to reason about, so using distinct user IDs for name and email address is preferred nowadays.

In doubt, prefer ‘−−name‘ and ‘−−email‘.

Global options

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