NAME
gpgcompose - Generate a stream of OpenPGP packets
SYNOPSIS
gpgcompose
[[OPTION
[ARGS]]
... ]
gpgcompose --help
gpgcompose
OPTION
--help
DESCRIPTION
gpgcompose
generates a stream of OpenPGP packets, including some which can
include other nested packets within a layer of encryption. The syntax
on the command line isn't stable enough to document currently, but
additional hints and examples can be found from the command line using
--help.
EXTERNAL DEPENDENCIES
gpgcompose
is not capable of performing secret key operations on its own.
Creation of any OpenPGP object that requires secret key operations
(e.g.,
--signature)
will need to speak to an already-running
gpg-agent.
FILES
Occasionally,
gpgcompose
will need to look up existing public keys for reference (e.g.,
--public-key).
It will do so in
~/.gnupg/keyring.kbx,
or in
$GNUPGHOME/keyring.kbx
if that variable is set.
