Hello all,

I've been reading into the signify(1) program a little recently, and the
manual page mentons the '-t' option, which is used to ensure the public
key deduced from the signature comment "matches /etc/signify/*-keytype.pub",
where 'keytype' is the argument given to '-t'. I'm not sure what this
means. I've taken a glance over the source code, and it looks like specifying
this option is simply intended to ensure that the path to the public key used
to verify the given signature matches the path mentioned in the manual page.
Is this a correct interpretation? What's the rationale behind this option?

Cheers.
