--edit-key name
                 Present  a  menu which enables you to do all key
                 related tasks:

                 sign      Make a signature on key of  user  name
                           If  the  key  is not yet signed by the
                           default user (or the users given  with
                           -u),    the   program   displays   the
                           information of the key again, together
                           with  its fingerprint and asks whether
                           it should be signed. This question  is
                           repeated  for all users specified with
                           -u.

                 lsign     Same as --sign but  the  signature  is
                           marked   as  non-exportable  and  will
                           therefore never  be  used  by  others.
                           This  may  be  used to make keys valid
                           only in the local environment.
