NAME
     sq-key-subkey-delete - Delete a certificate's secret key material

SYNOPSIS
     sq key subkey delete [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
     Delete a certificate's secret key material.

     Unlike  `sq  key  delete`,  which deletes all the secret key material, this
     command only deletes the specified secret key material.

     If the secret key material is managed by multiple devices,  it  is  deleted
     from all of them.

     Although  the secret key material is deleted, the public keys are retained.
     If you don't want the keys to be used anymore you should  revoke  the  keys
     using `sq key subkey revoke`.

OPTIONS
   Subcommand options
     --cert=FINGERPRINT|KEYID
	    Delete  secret  key material from the key with the specified finger-
	    print or key ID

     --cert-email=EMAIL
	    Delete secret key material from the key where a user ID includes the
	    specified email address

     --cert-file=PATH
	    Delete the secret key material from the key read from PATH

     --cert-userid=USERID
	    Delete secret key material from the key with the specified user ID

     --key=FINGERPRINT|KEYID
	    Delete the specified key's secret key material

     --output=FILE
	    Write the stripped certificate to the specified file

	    This option only makes sense when deleting the secret  key	material
	    from  a  file.  When deleting secret key material managed by the key
	    store using `--cert`, you can get the stripped certificate using `sq
	    key export`.

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

EXAMPLES
     Delete Alice's signing subkey.

		   --cert=EB28F26E2739A4870ECC47726F0073F60FD0CBF0 \
		   --key=42020B87D51877E5AF8D272124F3955B0B8DECC8
