SQ(1)

💖 SQ(1) — like, the whole vibe 💖

okay bestie, listen up: this is the manual page for sq-network-wkd-search, straight out of the User Commands section ✨ She's a little subcommand with main character energy and she has ONE job: going and getting certificates off a Web Key Directory. No cap. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

sq-network-wkd-search — go fetch certificates from a Web Key Directory, girlboss style 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sq network wkd search [OPTIONS] ADDRESS

That's it. That's the whole summoning ritual 🦋

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Retrieve certificates from a Web Key Directory. Simple as that, fr fr.

By default, any returned certificates are stored in the local certificate store. But!! you can override that whole situation with the --output option, if you'd rather just... have the file. Your call, queen 👑

Now here's the part where it gets lowkey iconic. When a certificate is retrieved from a WKD, and imported into the local certificate store, any User IDs with the email address that was looked up are certificated with a local WKD-specific key. That proxy certificate is in turn certified as a minimally trusted CA (trust amount: 1 of 120) by the local trust root. Yes, 1 of 120 — she's starting small, she's building her brand 😌

And if you want to tune how much the WKD proxy CA is trusted? Obsessed. You do that with sq pki link add or sq pki link retract, in the usual way. The way that those commands just exist for you 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

the subcommand ones (her own little options) 🍓

• --all — fetch updates for all known certificates. Every single one. She's thorough 💀
• --output=FILE — write to FILE (or stdout when omitted) instead of importing into the certificate store. Omit it and she yells into your terminal instead, which is honestly a whole mood ✨
• ADDRESS — retrieve certificate(s) for ADDRESS. This one's an argument, not a flag, but she's still part of the gang 💖

GLOBAL OPTIONS 🌈
