SQ(1)                            User Commands                           SQ(1)

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

SYNOPSIS
       sq inspect [OPTIONS] FILE

DESCRIPTION
       Inspect 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.



OPTIONS
