Export keys from the key store

Synopsis

sq key subkey export [Options]  

Description

Export secret key material from the secret key store.

Exports the secret key material.  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.

If you want to export all secret key material associated with a certificate, use `sq key export`.

Options

Subcommand options

--key=FINGERPRINT|KEYID

Export the specified key.

The entire certificate is exported, but only the specified key's secret key material is exported.  An error is returned if the secret key material for the specified key is not available.

Global options

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

Examples

Export Alice's signing-capable and encryption-capable subkeys, but not her primary key or her authentication-capable subkey.
