gpgcompose(1) General Commands Manual gpgcompose(1)
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 com-
mand 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.
