## Class SignOperation

- java.lang.Object
- - org.gradle.plugins.signing.SignOperation

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    SignatureSpec

      public class SignOperation
      extends Object
      implements SignatureSpec

  A sign operation creates digital signatures for one or more files or `publish artifacts`.

  The external representation of the signature is specified by the `signature type property`, while the `signatory` property specifies who is to sign.

  A sign operation manages one or more `Signature` objects. The `sign` methods are used to register things to generate signatures for. The `execute()` method generates the signatures for all of the registered items at that time.

      Returns:
        the signature type, or `null` if none specified.

    - #### setSignatory

          public void setSignatory(Signatory signatory)

      Description copied from interface: `SignatureSpec`
      Sets the signatory that will be signing the input.

        `setSignatory` in interface `SignatureSpec`
      Parameters:
        `signatory` - The signatory

    - #### getSignatory

          public Signatory getSignatory()

      Description copied from interface: `SignatureSpec`
      The signatory that will be performing the signing.
      Specified by:
        `getSignatory` in interface `SignatureSpec`
      Returns:
        the signatory, or `null` if none specified.

    - #### setRequired

          public void setRequired(boolean required)

      Description copied from interface: `SignatureSpec`
      Whether or not it is required that this signature be generated.

    - #### isRequired

          public boolean isRequired()

      Description copied from interface: `SignatureSpec`
      Whether or not it is required that this signature be generated. A signature may not be able to be generated if a signatory and/or a signature type have not been specified. If it is required and cannot be generated, an exception will be thrown. Otherwise, it will not be generated.
      Specified by:
        `isRequired` in interface `SignatureSpec`
      Returns:

        this

      Registers signatures for the given files.
      Returns:
        this
      See Also:
        `Signature.Signature(File, SignatureSpec, Object...)`

    - #### sign

          public SignOperation sign(String classifier,

      Returns:
        this
      See Also:

      Change the signature type for signature generation.

    - #### signatory

          public SignOperation signatory(Signatory signatory)

      Change the signatory for signature generation.

    - #### configure

          public SignOperation configure(Closure closure)

      Executes the given closure against this object.

    - #### execute

          public SignOperation execute()

      Generates actual signature files for all of the registered signatures.

      The signatures are generated with the configuration they have at this time, which includes the signature type and signatory of this operation at this time.

      This method can be called multiple times, with the signatures being generated with their current configuration each time.

      Returns:
        this

          public Signature getSingleSignature()

      Returns the single registered signature.
      Returns:
        The signature.
      Throws:
        `IllegalStateException` - if there is not exactly one registered signature.

      All of the files that will be signed by this operation.

    - #### getSignatureFiles
