NAME
sq key expire - Change expiration times

SYNOPSIS
sq key expire [OPTIONS] EXPIRY FILE

DESCRIPTION
Change expiration times.

Keys and their individual subkeys can expire. This subcommand changes or clears the expiration times.

By default, the expiration time of the entire key is changed. To change the expiration of only some of the subkeys, use the `--subkey` option.

OPTIONS

  Subcommand options

-B, --binary

--subkey=SUBKEY
    Change expiration of this subkey, not the entire key

EXPIRY
    Define EXPIRY for the key as ISO 8601 formatted string or custom duration. If an ISO 8601 formatted string is provided, the validity period reaches from the reference time (may be set using `--time`) to the provided time. Custom durations starting from the reference time may be set using `N[ymwds]`, for N years, months, weeks, days, or seconds. The special keyword `never` sets an unlimited expiry.
