NAME
     sq-key-export - Export keys from the key store

SYNOPSIS
     sq key export [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
     Export keys from the key store.

     Exports  the  secret key material associated with a certificate.  Note that
     even if secret key material is available, it may not  be  exportable.   For
     instance,	secret key material stored on a hardware security module usually
     cannot be exported from the device.

     Iterate over all of the specified certificates and export any keys (primary
     key and subkeys) with secret key material.  An error  is  returned  if  any
     specified certificate does not contain any secret key material.

     If you only want to export a particular key and not all keys associate with
     a certificate, use `sq key subkey export`.
