Arguments​

Message​

  • Name: message

Message data used for creating the signature.

Signature​

  • Name: signature

Message signature that will be verified.

Public Key​

  • Name: public key

Public key of the private key used for creating the signature.

Flags​

Public Key Signature Algorithm​

  • Flag: --sig-algo
  • Valid inputs: "ECDSA_P256", "ECDSA_secp256k1"

Specify the ECDSA signature algorithm of the key pair used for signing.

Flow supports the secp256k1 and P-256 curves.

Public Key Hash Algorithm​

  • Flag: --hash-algo
  • Valid inputs: "SHA2_256", "SHA3_256"
  • Default: "SHA3_256"

Specify the hash algorithm of the key pair used for signing.

Filter​

  • Flag: --filter
  • Short Flag: -x
  • Valid inputs: case-sensitive name of the result property.

Specify any property name from the result you want to return as the only value.

Output​

  • Flag: --output
  • Short Flag: -o
  • Valid inputs: json, inline

Specify in which format you want to display the result.

Save​

  • Flag: --save
  • Short Flag: -s
  • Valid inputs: valid filename

Specify the filename where you want the result to be saved.

Log​

  • Flag: --log
  • Short Flag: -l
  • Valid inputs: none, error, debug
  • Default: info

Specify the log level. Control how much output you want to see while command execution.

Version Check​

  • Flag: --skip-version-check
  • Default: false

Skip version check during start up to speed up process for slow connections.
