DESCRIPTION

sqv is a command-line OpenPGP signature verification tool

OPTIONS

--keyring=FILE

A keyring

--not-after=TIMESTAMP

Consider signatures created after TIMESTAMP as invalid. If a date is given, 23:59:59 is used for the time. [default: now]

--not-before=TIMESTAMP

Consider signatures created before TIMESTAMP as invalid. If a date is given, 00:00:00 is used for the time. [default: no constraint]

-n, --signatures=N [default: 1]

The number of valid signatures to return success

-v, --verbose

Be verbose

-h, --help

Print help

-V, --version

Print version

<SIG-FILE>

File containing the detached signature

<FILE>

File to verify

EXTRA

TIMESTAMPs must be given in ISO 8601 format (e.g. '2017-03-04T13:25:35Z', '2017-03-04T13:25', '20170304T1325+0830', '2017-03-04', '2017031', ...). If no timezone is specified, UTC is assumed.

By default, sqv configures the cryptographic policy using /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/sequoia.config. That can be overwritten by setting the SEQUOIA_CRYPTO_POLICY environment variable to an alternate file. The path must be absolute. The file's format is described here: <https://docs.rs/sequoia-policy-config/>.
