It is also possible that I did not list it with --help so that the user
is required to read the full blurb:
--export-secret-keys
--export-secret-subkeys
Same as --export, but exports the secret keys instead.
This is normally not very useful and a security risk. The
second form of the command has the special property to
render the secret part of the primary key useless; this is
a GNU extension to OpenPGP and other implementations can
not be expected to successfully import such a key.
See the option --simple-sk-checksum if you want to import
such an exported key with an older OpenPGP implementation.
