SQ(1)

💖 SQ(1) — the sq-key-approvals-list bestie era 💖

okay so bestie, it's giving Sequoia PGP manual page energy, and the star of the show today is sq-key-approvals-list — the little command that shows you which third-party certifications on a cert got the key holder's lil stamp of approval. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

sq-key-approvals-list — Lists third-party certifications and their approval status

(also living in section 1 of the manual, iykyk)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sq key approvals list [OPTIONS]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Lists third-party certifications and their approval status.

so here's the lore 👑 — to prevent certificate flooding attacks, modern key servers straight up refuse to hand out uncontrolled third-party certifications on certificates. like, not today. 💀

and to let the key holder control what info gets distributed with their certificate, these key servers only distribute third-party certifications that the key holder has explicitly approved. that's it, that's the whole vibe check. 💅

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

💜 Subcommand options

• --cert=FINGERPRINT|KEYID — list the approvals on the certificate with the specified fingerprint or key ID
• --cert-email=EMAIL — list the approvals on the certificate where a user ID includes the specified email address
• --cert-file=PATH — list the approvals on the certificate read from PATH
• --cert-userid=USERID — list the approvals on the certificate with the specified user ID
• --email=EMAIL — use the self-signed user ID with the specified email address
• --pending — list unapproved certifications (the ones still waiting on that approval 🕰️)
• --userid=USERID — use the specified self-signed user ID

heads up bestie: the specified user ID must be self signed. no self-sig, no service. 🙈
