gpgsigs1

Usage

Overview

gpgsigs was written to assist the user in signing keys during a keysigning party. It takes as input a file containing keys in "gpg --list-keys" format and prepends every line with a tag indicating if the user has already signed that uid. When the file contains "ALGO Checksum:" lines and placeholders ("__ __"), the checksum is inserted. ALGO can be set to the following algorithms: MD5 SHA1 SHA256 or RIPEMD160.

Options

-r

Call gpg --recv-keys before creating the output.

-f charset

Convert keytxt from charset. The default is ISO-8859-1.

-t charset

Convert UIDs to charset. The default is derived from LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, and LANG, and if all these are unset, the default is ISO-8859-1.

--refresh

Refresh the UID lists per key from gpg. Useful when UIDs were added or revoked since the input text was generated.

--latex

Generate LaTeX output, including photo IDs. Implies --refresh. Note: This writes jpg files to the current directory.

keyid

Use this keyid (8 or 16 bytes, or full fingerprint) for annotation. Multiple keyids can be separated by a comma (,).

keytxt

Read input from keytxt.

outfile

Write output to outfile. Default is stdout.

Environment

HOME

The default home directory.

GNUPGBIN

The gpg binary. Default: "gpg".

GNUPGHOME

The default working directory for gpg. Default: "$HOME/.gnupg".
