GnuPG signature verification tool. -@end direntry - -@node Top, , , (dir) -@top gpgv -@chapheading Name - -gpgv --- signature verification tool -@chapheading Synopsis - -@example -gpgv - options - signed files - -@end example -@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 -@end table - -@bye |
