SQ(1)

NAME
sq inspect - Inspects data, like file(1)

SYNOPSIS
sq [GLOBAL OPTIONS] inspect [OPTIONS] FILE

DESCRIPTION
Inspects data, like file(1).

It is often difficult to tell from cursory inspection using cat(1) or file(1) what kind of OpenPGP one is looking at. This subcommand inspects the data and provides a meaningful human-readable description of it.

"sq inspect" respects the reference time set by the top-level "--time" argument. It uses the reference time when determining what binding signatures are active.
