GnuPG signature verification tool. -@end direntry - -@node top -@top gpgv -@menu -@end menu - -@majorheading Name -gpgv ---- signature verification tool - -@majorheading Synopsis - -@majorheading DESCRIPTION -@code{gpgv} is the OpenPGP signature checking tool. - -This program is a stripped down version of @code{gpg} which is only -able -to check signatures. It is somewhat smaller than the full blown -@code{gpg} and uses a different (and more simple way) to check that -the public keys used to made the signature are trustworth. There is -no options files and only very few options are implemented. - -@code{gpgv} assumes that all keys in the keyring are trustworty. -It uses by default 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. - -@majorheading OPTIONS -@code{gpgv} recognizes these options: - -@table @asis -@item -v, ---verbose -Give 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. - -It might make sense to use it together with ---no-default-keyring. - -@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 a 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 a warning. - -@end table - -@majorheading 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. - -@majorheading EXAMPLES -@table @asis -@item gpgv @code{pgpfile} -@itemx gpgv @code{sigfile} @code{files} -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 @code{files} 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 - -@majorheading ENVIRONMENT -@table @asis -@item HOME -Used to locate the default home directory. - -@item GNUPGHOME -If set directory used instead of "~/.gnupg". - -@end table - -@majorheading FILES -@table @asis -@item ~/.gnupg/trustedkeys.gpg -The default keyring with the allowed keys - -@end table - -@bye |
