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` ar-
     gument.  It uses the reference time when determining  what  binding  signa-
     tures are active.
