asfaload-cli share-key

• Usage: asfaload-cli share-key [OPTIONS] -k <PUBLIC_KEY>
• Source: src/commands/share_key.rs

Print your public key in the base64 form used in signers files, along with a ready-to-send message for sharing it. The public key is safe to share — it is how others verify your signatures.

This command is offline: it only reads a local public key file and never contacts the backend.

Options

-k --public-key <PATH>

Path to the public key file to share (asfaload or OpenSSH ed25519). Required.

-r --raw

Print only the public key in its canonical base64 form (asfaload-pub:...), without the human-readable message. Conflicts with --json.

--json

Emit output as JSON instead of human-readable text. Conflicts with --raw.

Output

Human-readable (default):

The public key is safe to share -- that's how others verify your signatures.

You can share your public key, for example with an admin, with this message:

    I have a key-pair to use with Asfaload. You can use my public
    key in signers files. Here it is:
    asfaload-pub:b5S+CxuqICIUn/DGBdMKeTMZCgQcg78ohiWQ1sC00c8

Raw (with --raw):

asfaload-pub:b5S+CxuqICIUn/DGBdMKeTMZCgQcg78ohiWQ1sC00c8

JSON (with --json):

{"public_key":"asfaload-pub:b5S+CxuqICIUn/DGBdMKeTMZCgQcg78ohiWQ1sC00c8","message":"The public key is safe to share -- ..."}

Examples

# print your public key and a sharing message
asfaload-cli share-key -k ~/.asfaload/mykey.pub

# print only the key
asfaload-cli share-key -k ~/.asfaload/mykey.pub --raw

# machine-readable output
asfaload-cli share-key --json -k ~/.asfaload/mykey.pub

Exit codes

• 0 — public key loaded and printed.
• non-zero — error (public key file missing or unreadable, invalid key).
