SYNOPSIS
       sq key expire [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
       Change a certificate's expiration time.

       This subcommand changes a certificate's expiration time.  To change the
       expiration time of an individual subkey, use the `sq key subkey expire`
       subcommand.



OPTIONS
   Subcommand options
       --cert=FINGERPRINT|KEYID
              Change the expiration of the key with the specified fingerprint
              or key ID

       --cert-email=EMAIL
              Change the expiration of the key where a user ID includes the
              specified email address

       --cert-file=PATH
              Change the expiration of the key read from PATH

       --cert-userid=USERID
              Change the expiration of the key with the specified user ID

       --expiration=EXPIRATION
              Sets the expiration time

              EXPIRATION is either an ISO 8601 formatted date with an optional
              time or a custom duration.  A duration takes the form
              `N[ymwds]`, where the letters stand for years, months, weeks,
              days, and seconds, respectively. Alternatively, the keyword
              `never` does not set an expiration time.

              [default: never]

       --output=FILE
              Write to FILE or stdout if omitted

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