.TH SQ 1 0.35.0 "Sequoia PGP" "User Commands"
.SH NAME
sq inspect \- Inspect data, like file(1)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.br
\fBsq inspect\fR [\fIOPTIONS\fR] \fIFILE\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
Inspect data, like file(1).
.PP
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.
.PP
`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.
