- <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
- <para>
-<command/gpgv/ is the OpenPGP signature checking tool.
- </para>
- <para>
-This program is a stripped down version of <command/gpg/ which is only
-able
-to check signatures. It is somewhat smaller than the full blown
-<command/gpg/ and uses a different (and more simple way) to check that
-the public keys used to made the signature are trustworth. There is
-no options files and only very few options are implemented.
-</para>
-<para>
-<command/gpgv/ assumes that all keys in the keyring are trustworty.
-It uses by default a keyring named <filename/trustedkeys.gpg/ which is
-assumed to be in the home directory as defined by GnuPG or set by an
-option or an environment variable. An option may be used to specify
-another keyring or even multiple keyrings.
-</para>

-<para>
-<command/gpgv/ recognizes these options:

-
-<variablelist>
-
-
-<varlistentry>
-<term>-v, --verbose</term>
-<listitem><para>
-Give more information during processing. If used
-twice, the input data is listed in detail.
-</para></listitem></varlistentry>
-
-
-<varlistentry>
-<term>-q, --quiet</term>
-<listitem><para>
-Try to be as quiet as possible.
-</para></listitem></varlistentry>
-
-
-<varlistentry>
-<term>--keyring &ParmFile;</term>
-<listitem><para>
-Add &ParmFile to the list of keyrings.
-If &ParmFile begins with a tilde and a slash, these
-are replaced by the HOME directory. If the filename
-does not contain a slash, it is assumed to be in the
-home-directory ("~/.gnupg" if --homedir is not used).
-The filename may be prefixed with a scheme:</para>
-<para>"gnupg-ring:" is the default one.</para>
-<para>It might make sense to use it together with --no-default-keyring.
-</para></listitem></varlistentry>
-
-
-<varlistentry>
-<term>--homedir &ParmDir;</term>
-<listitem><para>
-Set the name of the home directory to &ParmDir; If this
-option is not used it defaults to "~/.gnupg". It does
-not make sense to use this in a options file. This
-also overrides the environment variable "GNUPGHOME".
-</para></listitem></varlistentry>
-
-
-<varlistentry>
-<term>--status-fd &ParmN;</term>
-<listitem><para>
-Write special status strings to the file descriptor &ParmN;.
-See the file DETAILS in the documentation for a listing of them.
-</para></listitem></varlistentry>
-
-
-<varlistentry>
-<term>--logger-fd &ParmN;</term>
-<listitem><para>
-Write log output to file descriptor &ParmN; and not to stderr.
-</para></listitem></varlistentry>
-
-
-<varlistentry>
-<term>--ignore-time-conflict</term>
-<listitem><para>
-GnuPG normally checks that the timestamps associated with keys and
-signatures have plausible values. However, sometimes a signature seems to
-be older than the key due to clock problems. This option makes these
-checks just a warning.

- <title>RETURN VALUE</title>
- <para>
-The program returns 0 if everything was fine, 1 if at least
-one signature was bad, and other error codes for fatal errors.

-<term>gpgv <parameter/pgpfile/</term>
-<term>gpgv <parameter/sigfile/ &OptParmFiles;</term>
-<listitem><para>
-Verify the signature of the file. The second form
-is used for detached signatures, where <parameter/sigfile/ is the detached
-signature (either ASCII armored or binary) and &OptParmFiles are the signed
-data; if this is not given the name of the file holding the signed data is
-constructed by cutting off the extension (".asc", ".sig" or ".sign") from
-<parameter/sigfile/.
