NAME
pgpv - Decrypts and Verifies messages.
SYNOPSIS
pgpv [-dfKmqv] [-z|-zs]
[-o <outfile>]
file
...
DESCRIPTION
pgpv
Decrypts and verifies files encrypted and/or signed by PGP.
OPTIONS
All configuration options can be controlled from the command line.
See
pgp.cfg(5)
for a complete list and how to specify them.
- -d
-
Leave signature intact; just verify (don't save any output).
- -f
-
Stream mode. Accepts input on
stdin
and places output on
stdout.
If no files are specified as arguments, pgp executes in this mode by
default.
- -o outfile
-
Specifies that output should go to
outfile.
If not specified, output goes to the default filename. The default
filename for each input file is the input filename with the ".pgp"
".asc" or ".sig" removed.
It is an error to specify multiple input files with this option.
- -K
-
Do not process any keys found in the message. Normally, PGP will add
any keys found in the message to your keyring.
- -m
-
More mode. Displays message output with PGP's internal pager, or the
Pager
specified in your
pgp.cfg(5)
file.
- -z
-
Batch mode. See
pgp-integration(7)
for a discussion of integrating pgp support into your application.
EXAMPLE
pgpv document.txt.asc
-
Decrypts and/or verifies the file
document.txt.asc.
The resultant file will be
document.txt.
FILES
~/.pgp/pgp.cfg

User-specific configuration file. In previous releases, this file was
