I think hkt is the tool I'm most interested in right now, since it
sounds like it can give me information about the contents of my public
and/or private keyring.

To that end, it would be useful to have a lot more information about
what the tool is capable of, what its arguments do, what the output
should look like, etc.

For instance:

  --filter                 treat target as filter

What is "target" in the context of openPGP keys, and what is a filter?
What can be filtered by what?

As a concrete example, how do I ask hkt to show me every key in a
keyring that will expire in the next month?

Ideally the man pages would answer all these questions.
