NAME
get - Looks up certificates in a Web Key Directory

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

DESCRIPTION
Looks up certificates in a Web Key Directory

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 WKD, and imported into the local certificate store, any User IDs with the email address that was looked up are certificated with a local WKD-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 the WKD proxy CA is trusted can be tuned using "sq link add" or "sq link retract" in the usual way.

OPTIONS

-B, --binary=BINARY
    Emits binary data

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

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

<ADDRESS>
    Queries a cert for ADDRESS
