👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

The "nethsm openpgp sign" command 🫶

(okay the original is truly that brief — it's giving minimal effort, but we respect it. the real tea is in the options below 👇)

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -a, --auth-passphrase-file <AUTH_PASSPHRASE_FILE> — the path to a file holding a passphrase for authentication 🔐

the passphrase in that file must be the one belonging to the user you picked for the command, no mixing and matching, iykyk.

you can pass this option multiple times — which you need for commands that require multiple roles at once. when you do stack them up, ordering matters, because the files get assigned to the respective user given by the "--user" option. so don't just shuffle them around like a playlist 🙈

may also be specified with the NETHSM_AUTH_PASSPHRASE_FILE environment variable.

• -f, --force — write to the output file even if it already exists 😤 no cap, it will just bulldoze right over it.

may also be specified with the NETHSM_FORCE environment variable.

• -c, --config <CONFIG> — the path to a custom configuration file 🗂️

if you specify it, that custom config file is used instead of the default configuration file location. main character config energy.

may also be specified with the NETHSM_CONFIG environment variable.

• -o, --output <OUTPUT> — the optional path to a specific output file 📝

may also be specified with the NETHSM_OPENPGP_SIGNATURE_OUTPUT_FILE environment variable.

• -l, --label <LABEL> — a label that uniquely identifies a device in the configuration file 🏷️

you must provide it if more than one device is set up in the configuration file.

may also be specified with the NETHSM_LABEL environment variable.

• -u, --user <USER> — a user name used for a command 🧑‍💻

you can provide it if no user name is set up in the configuration file for a device. you must provide it if several user names of the same target role are set up in the configuration file for a device.

this option can be provided multiple times too — needed for commands that require multiple roles at once. teamwork makes the dream work fr fr.

may also be specified with the NETHSM_USER environment variable.

• -h, --help — print help (see a summary with '-h') 🫶
• <KEY_ID> — the ID of the key to use 🔑

may also be specified with the NETHSM_KEY_ID environment variable.

• <MESSAGE> — the path to a message for which to create a signature ✍️

may also be specified with the NETHSM_OPENPGP_SIGNATURE_MESSAGE environment variable.

💀 reminder bestie: that --force flag is real. it writes over existing output files. only use it when you actually mean it, okay? 🫶
