-    Esoteric commands
-    -----------------
-
-	gpg --list-packets datafile
-
-    Use this to list the contents of a data file. If the file is encrypted
-    you are asked for the passphrase, so that GnuPG is able to look at the
-    inner structure of a encrypted packet.  This command should list all

-	gpg --list-trustdb
+    How to Get More Information
+    ---------------------------
 
-    List the contents of the trust DB in a human readable format
-
-	gpg --list-trustdb  <usernames>
-
-    List the tree of certificates for the given usernames
-
-	gpg --list-trust-path  username
-
-    List the possible trust paths for the given username. The length
-    of such a trust path is limited by the option --max-cert-depth
-    which defaults to 5.

-    For more options/commands see the man page or use "gpg --help".
