+@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
