23              Emits binary data
24
25

31              Creates a cleartext signature
32
33
34       -a, --append
35              Appends a signature to existing signature
36
37
38       -n, --notarize
39              Signs a message and all existing signatures
40

OPTIONS

42       -o, --output FILE
43              Writes to FILE or stdout if omitted
44
45
46       --merge SIGNED-MESSAGE
47              Merges signatures from the input and SIGNED-MESSAGE
48
49
50       --signer-key KEY
51              Signs using KEY
52
53
54       -t, --time TIME
55              Chooses keys valid at the specified time  and  sets  the  signa‐
56              ture's creation time
57
58
59       --notation NAME
60              Adds a notation to the certification.  A user-defined notation's
61              name must be of the form "name@a.domain.you.control.org". If the
62              notation's  name starts with a !, then the notation is marked as
63              being critical.  If a consumer of a signature doesn't understand
64              a critical notation, then it will ignore the signature.  The no‐
65              tation is marked as being human readable.

ARGS

68       FILE   Reads from FILE or stdin if omitted
