NAME
       sq network keyserver fetch - Retrieve certificates from key servers

SYNOPSIS
       sq network keyserver fetch [OPTIONS] QUERY

DESCRIPTION
       Retrieve certificates from key servers.

       By default, any returned certificates are stored in the local
       certificate store.  This can be overridden by using `--output` option.

       When a certificate is retrieved from a verifying key server (currently,
       this is limited to a list of known servers: `hkps://keys.openpgp.org`,
       `hkps://keys.mailvelope.com`, and `hkps://mail-api.proton.me`), and
       imported into the local certificate store, the User IDs are also
       certificated with a local server-specific key.  That proxy certificate
       is in turn certified as a minimally trusted CA (trust amount: 1 of 120)
       by the local trust root.  How much a proxy key server CA is trusted can
       be tuned using `sq pki link add` or `sq pki link retract` in the usual
       way.

OPTIONS
   Subcommand options

       --all  Fetch updates for all known certificates

       -o, --output=FILE
              Write to FILE (or stdout when omitted) instead of importing into
              the certificate store

       -s, --server=URI
              Set the key server to use.  Can be given multiple times.

              [default: hkps://keys.openpgp.org, hkps://mail-api.proton.me,
