-@chapheading DESCRIPTION
-
-@code{gpgv} is the OpenPGP signature checking tool.
-
-This program is a stripped down version of @code{gpg} which is able
-only
-to check signatures. It is somewhat smaller than the fully blown
-@code{gpg} and uses a different (and simpler) way to check that
-the public keys used to make the signature are trustworthy. There are
-no options files and only very few options are implemented.
-
-@code{gpgv} assumes that all keys in the keyring are trustworthy.
-By default it uses a keyring named @file{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.
-@chapheading OPTIONS
-
-@code{gpgv} recognizes these options:
-
-@table @asis
-
-@item -v, --verbose
-Gives more information during processing. If used
-twice, the input data is listed in detail.
-
-@item -q, --quiet
-Try to be as quiet as possible.
-
-@item --keyring @code{file}
-Add @code{file} to the list of keyrings.
-If @code{file} 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:
-
-"gnupg-ring:" is the default one.
-
-@item --homedir @code{directory}
-Set the name of the home directory to @code{directory} If this
-option is not used, it defaults to "~/.gnupg". It does
-not make sense to use this in an options file. This
-also overrides the environment variable "GNUPGHOME".
-
-@item --status-fd @code{n}
-Write special status strings to the file descriptor @code{n}.
-See the file DETAILS in the documentation for a listing of them.
-
-@item --logger-fd @code{n}
-Write log output to file descriptor @code{n} and not to stderr.
-
-@item --ignore-time-conflict
-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 warnings.
-@end table
-@chapheading RETURN VALUE
-
-The program returns 0 if everything was fine, 1 if at least
-one signature was bad, and other error codes for fatal errors.
-@chapheading EXAMPLES
-
-@table @asis
-
-@item gpgv @code{pgpfile}
-@itemx gpgv @code{sigfile}
-Verify the signature of the file. The second form
-is used for detached signatures, where @code{sigfile} is the detached
-signature (either ASCII armored or binary) and 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
-@code{sigfile}.
-@end table
-@chapheading ENVIRONMENT
-
-@table @asis
-
-@item HOME
-Used to locate the default home directory.
-
-@item GNUPGHOME
-If set directory used instead of "~/.gnupg".
-@end table
-@chapheading FILES
-
-@table @asis
-
-@item ~/.gnupg/trustedkeys.gpg
-The default keyring with the allowed keys
