sq key userid add - Add a user ID
sq key userid add [OPTIONS]
Add a user ID.
A user ID can contain a name, like `Juliet`, or an email address,
like `<juliet@example.org>`. Historically, a name and an email address
were usually combined as a single user ID, like `Juliet
<juliet@example.org>`. However, user IDs that include different
information such as name and email address are more difficult to reason
about, so using distinct user IDs for name and email address is preferred
nowadays.
`sq userid add` respects the reference time set by the top-level
`--time` argument. It sets the creation time of the user ID's binding
signature to the specified time.
- --allow-non-canonical-userids
- Don't reject user IDs that are not in canonical form.
- Canonical user IDs are of the form `Name (Comment)
<localpart@example.org>`.
- --cert=FINGERPRINT|KEYID
- Add the user ID to the key with the specified fingerprint or key ID
- --cert-email=EMAIL
- Add the user ID to the key where a user ID includes the specified email
address
- --cert-file=PATH
- Add the user ID to the key read from PATH
- --cert-userid=USERID
- Add the user ID to the key with the specified user ID
- --email=ADDRESS
- Add an email address as user ID to the key
- --name=NAME
- Add a name as user ID to the key
- --output=FILE

- If not specified, and the certificate was read from the certificate store,
imports the modified certificate into the cert store. If not specified,
and the certificate was read from a file, writes the modified certificate
to stdout.
- --userid=USERID
-
Add a user ID to the key.
- This user ID can combine name and email address, can optionally contain a
comment, or even be free-form if `--allow-non-canonical-userids` is given.
However, user IDs that include different information such as name and
email address are more difficult to reason about, so using distinct user
IDs for name and email address is preferred nowadays.
- In doubt, prefer `--name` and `--email`.
