SYNTAX

openpgpkey [-h] [--verify] [-create] [--version] [--insecure] [--resolv.conf /PATH/TO/RESOLV.CONF] [--output {rfc,generic,both}] user@domain

DESCRIPTION

openpgpkey generates RFC-TBD OPENPGPKEY DNS records. To generate these records for older nameserver implementations that do not yet support the OPENPGPKEY record, specify --output generic to output the openpgpkey data in Generic Record (RFC-3597) format. Records are generated by taking all keys with the specified email address associated with it from the user's local GnuPG keychain.

Verification of OPENPGPKEY records is done by comparing the keyid and fingerprint of the OPENPGPKEY obtained from DNS with the version in the local GnuPG keychain.

OPTIONS

--create

Create an OPENPGPKEY record

--verify

Verify an OPENPGPKEY record

--resolvconf FILE

Specify a custom resolv.conf file (default: /etc/resolv.conf)

--output rfc | generic | both

Output format of OPENPGPKEY record. "OPENPGPKEY" for rfc, "TYPE65280" for generic (default: generic)

If neither create or verify is specified, create is used.

REQUIREMENTS
