Sign a file, adding a trusted (signed) and an untrusted (unsigned) comment in the signature:
minisign -Sm {{path/to/file}} -c "{{Untrusted comment}}" -t "{{Trusted comment}}"
-
Verify a file and the trusted comments in its signature using the specified public key file:
minisign -Vm {{path/to/file}} -p {{path/to/publickey.pub}}
