# `arti keys`

`arti keys` is a command line utility for managing keystores and their content. In the
future, we will extend `arti keys` with additional functionality, for example multiple formatting
options for the output.

Like the other `arti` subcommands, it has an optional `--config` option for
specifying the TOML configuration file. Using the correct configuration file is
important, because the keystores that `arti keys` interacts with are relative to the
state directory, which you might have overridden in the configuration.

> `arti keys` is an experimental subcommand.
> To use it, you will need to compile `arti` with the experimental `onion-service-cli-extra` feature.

## Listing keystores

`arti keys list-keystores` lists all the configured keystores:

```
$ arti -c keys.toml keys list-keystores
Keystores:

- "arti"


```


## Listing the content of keystores

The command `arti keys list` is used for listing the content of keystores.

By default the command displays the content of all the keystores. If the
flag `--keystore-id` is provided, only the content of the specified
keystore will be displayed.

This command provides a way of listing both valid and broken
(i.e. unrecognized by Arti, or otherwise corrupt) entries.

Some of the information displayed by `keys list` can be used as input for other
commands. For instance: "Location", is the raw identifier of the entry; and
"Keystore ID", the identifier, of the keystore. These can be used together
with `arti keys-raw remove-by-id`.

By default, `keys list` pretty-prints human-readable output.
You can use the `--compact` option to get it to display
a more compact representation.

> NOTE: in the future, we plan to support machine-readable output too

## Validate the integrity of keystores

The command `arti keys check-integrity` performs a validity check on keystores.
It detects and reports unrecognized entries and paths, as well as malformed or
expired keys. Such entries can be removed if requested.

By default, the command displays invalid entries from all keystores. If the
`--keystore-id` flag is provided, only the invalid elements of the specified
keystore are displayed. When the `--sweep` flag is used, you will be
prompted to remove the detected invalid elements. If the `--batch` flag
is used in conjunction with `-s`, invalid elements are removed without a prompt.

The output displays invalid entries grouped by keystores and indicates whether no
invalid entries are found in a given keystore.

Some keys are time-bound and may expire. Expired entries correspond to keys
associated with time periods (obtained from a consensus document) for which the
owning service is not publishing descriptors. An internet connection is required
to retrieve the consensus document and verify the validity of these keys.
