NAME
       sq sign - Sign messages or data files

SYNOPSIS
       sq sign [OPTIONS] FILE

DESCRIPTION
       Sign messages or	data files.

       Creates	signed	messages  or detached signatures.  Detached signatures
       are often used to sign software packages.

       The converse operation is `sq verify`.

       `sq sign` respects the reference	time set by the	top-level `--time` ar-
       gument.	When set, it uses the specified	time instead  of  the  current
       time, when determining what keys	are valid, and it sets the signature's
       creation	time to	the reference time instead of the current time.

OPTIONS
   Subcommand options
       -B, --binary
	      Emit binary data

       -a, --append
	      Append a signature to existing signature

       --cleartext-signature
	      Create a cleartext signature

       --detached
	      Create a detached	signature

       --merge=SIGNED-MESSAGE
	      Merge signatures from the	input and SIGNED-MESSAGE

       -n, --notarize
	      Sign a message and all existing signatures

       --notation NAME VALUE
	      Add  a notation to the certification.  A user-defined notation's
	      name must	be of the form `name@a.domain.you.control.org`.	If the
	      notation's name starts with a `!`, then the notation  is	marked
	      as  being	critical.  If a	consumer of a signature	doesn't	under-
	      stand a critical notation, then it will  ignore  the  signature.
	      The notation is marked as	being human readable.

       -o, --output=FILE
	      Write to FILE or stdout if omitted

	      [default:	-]

       --private-key-store=KEY_STORE
	      Provide parameters for private key store

       --signer-file=KEY_FILE
	      Sign the message using the key in	KEY_FILE

       --signer-key=KEYID|FINGERPRINT
	      Sign the message using the specified key on the key store

	FILE  Read from	FILE or	stdin if omitted

	      [default:	-]

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

EXAMPLES
       Create a	signed message

	      sq sign --signer-file juliet.pgp message.txt

       Create a	detached signature

	      sq sign --detached --signer-file juliet.pgp message.txt

       Create a	signature with the specified creation time

	      sq sign --time 20020304 --detached --signer-file juliet.pgp \
		     message.txt
