NAME
get - Retrieves a certificate

SYNOPSIS
get [-o|--output] [-B|--binary] [-h|--help] <QUERY>

DESCRIPTION
Retrieves a certificate from a keyserver.

By default, any returned certificates are stored in the local certificate store. This can be overridden by using "--output" option.

When a certificate is downloaded from a verifying keyserver (currently, this is limited to a list of known servers: keys.openpgp.org, keys.mailvelope.com, and mail-api.proton.me), and imported into the local certificate store, the User IDs are also certificated with a local server-specific key. That proxy certificate is in turn certified as a minimally trusted CA (trust amount: 1 of 120) by the local trust root. How much a proxy key server CA is trusted can be tuned using "sq link add" or "sq link retract" in the usual way.

OPTIONS

-o, --output=FILE
    Writes to FILE instead of importing into the certificate store

-B, --binary=BINARY
    Emits binary data

-h, --help
    Print help information (use `-h` for a summary)

<QUERY>
    Retrieve certificate(s) using QUERY. This may be a fingerprint, a KeyID, or an email address.
