---

pgpainless-cli sign [--[no-]armor] [--stacktrace] [--as={binary|text}]
[--micalg-out=MICALG] [--with-key-password=PASSWORD]... [KEYS...]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ngl bestie, this section is literally empty in the original. no cap. the real tea lives down in OPTIONS and ARGUMENTS 👇

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --as={binary|text} — picks the output format of the signed message. defaults to binary. and heads up: if you go --as=text but the input data isn't valid UTF-8, sign fails with return code 53. not a vibe, but forewarned is forearmed 💀
• --micalg-out=MICALG — writes out the digest algorithm that got used into the file you name, formatted so you can drop it straight into the micalg parameter of a PGP/MIME Content-Type (that's RFC3156, iykyk). very MIME, very slay ✨
• --[no-]armor — ASCII armors the output. cute, printable, postable 🎀
• --stacktrace — prints the stacktrace. for when you want the full drama 😭
• --with-key-password=PASSWORD — the passphrase that unlocks the secret key(s). this one is an INDIRECT data type (so like, a file, an environment variable, a file descriptor... you get it 🧚)

---

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

• [KEYS...] — the secret keys used for signing. your little signing squad 🫶
