+.SH NAME
+sq\-verify \- Verifies signed messages or detached signatures
+
+When verifying signed messages, the message is written to stdout or
+the file given to \-\-output.
+
+When a detached message is verified, no output is produced. Detached
+signatures are often used to sign software packages.
+
+The converse operation is "sq sign".
