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 command 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 opera-
tions (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.
