SQ(1)

NAME
sq revoke subkey - Revoke a subkey

SYNOPSIS
sq [GLOBAL OPTIONS] revoke subkey [OPTIONS] SUBKEY REASON MESSAGE

DESCRIPTION
Revokes a subkey.

Creates a revocation certificate for a subkey.

If "--revocation-file" is provided, then that key is used to create the signature. If that key is different from the certificate being revoked, this creates a third-party revocation. This is normally only useful if the owner of the certificate designated the key to be a designated revoker.

If "--revocation-file" is not provided, then the certificate must include a certification-capable key.
