OPTIONS

-o, --output=FILE
    Writes to FILE or stdout if omitted

-B, --binary
    Emits binary data

-h, --help
    Print help information

[FILE]
    Reads from FILE or stdin if omitted

EXAMPLES
 First, this generates a key

     sq key generate --userid "<juliet@example.org>" --export juliet.key.pgp

 Then, this extracts the certificate for distribution

     sq key extract-cert --output juliet.cert.pgp juliet.key.pgp
