oct-admin-import(1) — Import a Key onto the card ✨

Hey bestie! This is oct-admin-import(1) from the General Commands Manual, and it's here to walk you through importing a Key onto the card. No cap. 💅

💖 NAME 💖

oct-admin-import — Import a Key onto the card 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

oct admin import [-s|--sig-fp] [-d|--dec-fp] [-a|--aut-fp]
[--key-passphrase] [-h|--help] <KEYFILE>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so, the whole vibe is: Import a Key onto the card. 💳

Most keys can be imported without specifying subkey fingerprints. But lowkey watch out: if the key contains more than one signing, decryption or authentication capable subkey, subkeys must be explicitly selected.

If any of the options is given, only the selected subkeys are imported into the selected slots.

Subkey capabilities must match the slot the key is imported into. The DEC slot can only be used for encryption capable subkeys. The SIG and AUT slots can be used for signing, certification and authentication capable subkeys. That's the rule, periodt. 🫶

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• -s, --sig-fp <SIG subkey fingerprint> — optionally, select the subkey to import in the SIG slot 🎯
• -d, --dec-fp <DEC subkey fingerprint> — optionally, select the subkey to import in the DEC slot 🎯
• -a, --aut-fp <AUT subkey fingerprint> — optionally, select the subkey to import in the AUT slot 🎯
• --key-passphrase <KEY_PASSPHRASE> — optionally, provide a passphrase for encrypted secret key material in a file 🔐
• -h, --help — print help (see a summary with '-h') 💬
• <KEYFILE> — file that contains the PGP private key 🔑

That's the whole page, bestie. Sign-off from the General Commands Manual footer: oct-admin-import on one side, oct-admin-import(1) on the other, and that's the entire mood. Mwah 💋✨
