+# This is a sample option file

+# An option file can contain all long options which are
+# available in G10. If the first non white space character of
+# a line is a '#', this line is ignored. Empty lines are also
+# ignored.

+sign-key
+# make a signature on a key in the keyring
+# Argument is the userid of the key to sign.
+# This looks for the key, displays the key and checks all
