NAME

identify - Identify a certificate

SYNOPSIS

identify [-h|--help] <FINGERPRINT|KEYID>

DESCRIPTION

Identify a certificate.

Identify a certificate by finding authenticated bindings (User ID and certificate pairs).

If a binding could be authenticated to the specified level (by default: fully authenticated, i.e., a trust amount of 120), then the exit status is 0. Otherwise the exit status is 1.

If a binding could be partially authenticated (i.e., its trust amount is greater than 0), then the binding is displayed, even if the trust is below the specified threshold.

OPTIONS
