Change a subkey's expiration time
Synopsis
sq key subkey expire [Options]
Description
Change a subkey's expiration time.
This subcommand changes a key's expiration time. To change the expiration time of the certificate, use the `sq key expire` subcommand.
Changing the expiration time of the primary key is equivalent to changing the certificate's expiration time. The expiration time of a subkey is bound by the expiration of the certificate.
