.SH SYNOPSIS

\fBsq\fR [\fIGLOBAL OPTIONS\fR] \fBrevoke userid\fR [\fIOPTIONS\fR] \fIUSERID\fR \fIREASON\fR \fIMESSAGE\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
Revokes a User ID.
.PP
Creates a revocation certificate for a User ID.
.PP
If "\-\-revocation\-key" is provided, then that key is used to create the signature.  If that key is different from the certificate being revoked, this creates a third\-party revocation.  This is normally only useful if the owner of the certificate designated the key to be a designated revoker.
.PP
If "\-\-revocation\-key" is not provided, then the certificate must include a certification\-capable key.
