Subcommand options

--append

Append a signature to existing signature

--binary

Emit binary data

--cleartext

Create a cleartext-signed message

--merge=SIGNED-MESSAGE

Merge signatures from the input and SIGNED-MESSAGE

--message

Create an inline-signed message

--mode=MODE

Select the signature mode

Signatures can be made in binary mode or in text mode. Text mode normalizes line endings, which makes signatures more robust when a text is transported over a channel which may change line endings. In doubt, create binary signatures.

[default: binary]

[possible values: binary, text]

--output=FILE

Write to FILE or stdout if omitted

[default: -]

--signature-file=SIG

Create a detached signature file

--signature-notation NAME VALUE

Add a notation to the signature

A user-defined notation's name must be of the form `[email protected]`. If the notation's name starts with a `!`, then the notation is marked as being critical. If a consumer of a signature doesn't understand a critical notation, then it will ignore the signature. The notation is marked as being human readable.

--signer=FINGERPRINT|KEYID

Create the signature using the key with the specified fingerprint or key ID

--signer-email=EMAIL

Create the signature using the key where a user ID includes the specified email address

--signer-file=PATH

Create the signature using the key read from PATH

--signer-self

Sign using your default signer keys

This adds the certificates listed in the configuration file under `sign.signer-self` to the list of signer keys.

Currently, the list of keys to be added is empty.

--signer-userid=USERID

Create the signature using the key with the specified user ID
