NAME

       sq key subkey expire - Change a subkey's expiration time

SYNOPSIS

       sq key subkey expire [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       Change a subkey's expiration time.

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

       Changing the expiration time of the primary key is equivalent to changing  the  certificate's  expiration
       time.  The expiration time of a subkey is bound by the expiration of the certificate.

OPTIONS

   Subcommand options
       --cert=FINGERPRINT|KEYID
              Change  the expiration of the specified (sub)keys on the key with the specified fingerprint or key
              ID

       --cert-email=EMAIL
              Change the expiration of the specified (sub)keys on the key where a user ID includes the specified
              email address

       --cert-file=PATH
              Change the expiration of the specified (sub)keys on the key read from PATH

       --cert-userid=USERID
              Change the expiration of the specified (sub)keys on 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]

       --key=FINGERPRINT|KEYID
              Use the key with the specified fingerprint or key ID

       --output=FILE
              Write to the specified FILE

              If not specified, and the certificate was read from the certificate store,  imports  the  modified
              certificate  into  the  cert  store.   If not specified, and the certificate was read from a file,
              writes the modified certificate to stdout.

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