sq-key-subkey-export - Export secret key material from the secret key store

sq key subkey export [OPTIONS]

Export secret key material from the secret key store.

Exports the secret key material. Note that even if secret key material is available, it may not be exportable. For instance, secret key material stored on a hardware security module usually cannot be exported from the device.

The entire certificate is exported, but only the specified key's secret key material is exported. An error is returned if the secret key material for the specified key is not available.

If you want to export all secret key material associated with a certificate, use `sq key export`.

Use certificates with the specified fingerprint or key ID
Use certificates where a user ID includes the specified email address
Use certificates with the specified user ID
Export the secret key material for the specified primary key or subkey
Write to FILE or stdout if omitted
[default: -]

See sq(1) for a description of the global options.
