NAME
sq key subkey export - Export keys from the key store

SYNOPSIS
sq key subkey export [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
Export secret key material from the secret key store.

Exports the secret key material. Note that even if secret key material is available, it may not be exportable. For instance, secret key material stored on a hardware security module usually cannot be exported from the device.

The entire certificate is exported, but only the specified key's secret key material is exported. An error is returned if the secret key material for the specified key is not available.

If you want to export all secret key material associated with a certificate, use `sq key export`.
