🌸 NAME 🌸

sqop-validate-userid</purgle> — validate a User ID in an OpenPGP Certificate 🦋

okay so like, it does exactly what it says. no cap.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

sqop validate-userid [--addr-spec-only] [--debug] [--validate-at]
[-h|--help] <USERID> <CERTS>

she's got flags, she's got args, she's got main character energy 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Validate a User ID in an OpenPGP Certificate ✨

that's the whole thing, bestie. you hand her a User ID and some certs, she tells you if that User ID is valid. iconic behaviour, honestly. 🌈

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --addr-spec-only — treat USERID as an e-mail address, and match it only against the e-mail address part of each correctly bound User ID. like, don't come for the whole name, just the address part, mmkay? 🍓
• --debug — emit verbose output for debugging. she's gonna yap. a lot. but like, useful yapping, for when things go weird 🔍
• --validate-at <VALIDATE_AT> — evaluate the validity of the User ID at the specified time, not at the current time. time travel but make it PGP ⏰✨
• -h, --help — print help. she'll explain herself 🫶
• <USERID> — the User ID to validate. this is the thing you're vibe-checking 🎯
• <CERTS> — authority OpenPGP certificates, i.e. trust roots. these are the sources of truth, the final girls, the ones whose word counts 🌳

---

ngl, <CERTS> is literally described as "trust roots" in the source, so like… treat them with the respect they deserve, okay? 🫡
