gpgv !!!gpgv NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS RETURN VALUE EXAMPLES ENVIRONMENT FILES ---- !!NAME gpgv -- signature verification tool !!SYNOPSIS __gpgv__ [[__options__] [[__signed files__] !!DESCRIPTION __gpgv__ is the OpenPGP signature checking tool. This program is a stripped down version of __gpg__ which is only able to check signatures. It is somewhat smaller than the full blown __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. __gpgv__ assumes that all keys in the keyring are trustworty. It uses by default a keyring named __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. !!OPTIONS __gpgv__ recognizes these options: -v, --verbose Give more information during processing. If used twice, the input data is listed in detail. -q, --quiet Try to be as quiet as possible. --keyring __file__ Add __file__ to the list of keyrings. If __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 ( __ It might make sense to use it together with --no-default-keyring. --homedir __directory__ Set the name of the home directory to __directory__ If this option is not used it defaults to __ --status-fd __n__ Write special status strings to the file descriptor __n__. See the file DETAILS in the documentation for a listing of them. --logger-fd __n__ Write log output to file descriptor __n__ and not to stderr. --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. !!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. !!EXAMPLES gpgv __pgpfile__ gpgv __sigfile__ [[__files__] Verify the signature of the file. The second form is used for detached signatures, where __sigfile__ is the detached signature (either ASCII armored or binary) and [[__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 ( __sigfile__. !!ENVIRONMENT HOME Used to locate the default home directory. GNUPGHOME If set directory used instead of !!FILES ~/.gnupg/trustedkeys.gpg The default keyring with the allowed keys ----
