- # Unless you specify which option file to use (with the command line
- # option "--options filename"), GnuPG uses the file ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
- # by default.
- #
- # An options file can contain any long options which are available in
- # GnuPG. If the first non white space character of a line is a '#',
- # this line is ignored. Empty lines are also ignored.
- #
- # See the man page for a list of options.
-
- # Uncomment the following option to get rid of the copyright notice
-
- #no-greeting
-
- # If you have more than 1 secret key in your keyring, you may want to
- # uncomment the following option and set your preferred keyid.
-
- #default-key 621CC013
-
- # If you do not pass a recipient to gpg, it will ask for one. Using
- # this option you can encrypt to a default key. Key validation will
- # not be done in this case. The second form uses the default key as
- # default recipient.
-
- #default-recipient some-user-id
- #default-recipient-self
-
- # By default GnuPG creates version 3 signatures for data files. This
- # is not strictly OpenPGP compliant but PGP 6 and most versions of PGP
- # 7 require them. To disable this behavior, you may use this option
- # or --openpgp.
-
- #no-force-v3-sigs
-
- # Because some mailers change lines starting with "From " to ">From "
- # it is good to handle such lines in a special way when creating
- # cleartext signatures; all other PGP versions do it this way too.
- # To enable full OpenPGP compliance you may want to use this option.
-
- #no-escape-from-lines
-
- # If you do not use the Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) charset, you should tell
- # GnuPG which is the native character set. Please check the man page
- # for supported character sets. This character set is only used for
- # metadata and not for the actual message which does not undergo any
- # translation. Note that future version of GnuPG will change to UTF-8
- # as default character set.
-
- #charset utf-8
-
- # Group names may be defined like this:
- # group mynames = paige 0x12345678 joe patti
- #
- # Any time "mynames" is a recipient (-r or --recipient), it will be
- # expanded to the names "paige", "joe", and "patti", and the key ID
- # "0x12345678". Note there is only one level of expansion - you
- # cannot make an group that points to another group. Note also that
- # if there are spaces in the recipient name, this will appear as two
- # recipients. In these cases it is better to use the key ID.
-
- #group mynames = paige 0x12345678 joe patti
-
- # Some old Windows platforms require 8.3 filenames. If your system
- # can handle long filenames, uncomment this.
-
- #no-mangle-dos-filenames
-
- # Lock the file only once for the lifetime of a process. If you do
- # not define this, the lock will be obtained and released every time
- # it is needed - normally this is not needed.

-
- # GnuPG can send and receive keys to and from a keyserver. These
- # servers can be HKP, email, or LDAP (if GnuPG is built with LDAP
- # support).
- #
- # Example HKP keyserver:
- # hkp://subkeys.pgp.net
- #
- # Example email keyserver:
- # mailto:pgp-public-keys@keys.pgp.net
- #
- # Example LDAP keyservers:
- # ldap://pgp.surfnet.nl:11370
- # ldap://keyserver.pgp.com
- #
- # Regular URL syntax applies, and you can set an alternate port
- # through the usual method:
- # hkp://keyserver.example.net:22742
- #
- # If you have problems connecting to a HKP server through a buggy http
- # proxy, you can use keyserver option broken-http-proxy (see below),
- # but first you should make sure that you have read the man page
- # regarding proxies (keyserver option honor-http-proxy)
- #
- # Most users just set the name and type of their preferred keyserver.
- # Note that most servers (with the notable exception of
- # ldap://keyserver.pgp.com) synchronize changes with each other. Note
- # also that a single server name may actually point to multiple
- # servers via DNS round-robin. hkp://subkeys.pgp.net is an example of
- # such a "server", which spreads the load over a number of physical
- # servers.
-
- keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net
- #keyserver mailto:pgp-public-keys@keys.nl.pgp.net
- #keyserver ldap://pgp.surfnet.nl:11370
- #keyserver ldap://keyserver.pgp.com
-
- # Common options for keyserver functions:
- #
- # include-disabled = when searching, include keys marked as "disabled"
- # on the keyserver (not all keyservers support this).
- #
- # no-include-revoked = when searching, do not include keys marked as
- # "revoked" on the keyserver.
- #
- # verbose = show more information as the keys are fetched.
- # Can be used more than once to increase the amount
- # of information shown.
- #
- # use-temp-files = use temporary files instead of a pipe to talk to the
- # keyserver. Some platforms (Win32 for one) always
- # have this on.
- #
- # keep-temp-files = do not delete temporary files after using them
- # (really only useful for debugging)
- #
- # honor-http-proxy = if the keyserver uses HTTP, honor the http_proxy
- # environment variable
- #
- # broken-http-proxy = try to work around a buggy HTTP proxy
- #
- # auto-key-retrieve = automatically fetch keys as needed from the keyserver
- # when verifying signatures or when importing keys that
- # have been revoked by a revocation key that is not
- # present on the keyring.
- #
- # no-include-attributes = do not include attribute IDs (aka "photo IDs")
- # when sending keys to the keyserver.
-
- #keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve
-
- # Uncomment this line to display photo user IDs in key listings and
- # when a signature from a key with a photo is verified.
-
- #show-photos
-
- # Use this program to display photo user IDs
- #
- # %i is expanded to a temporary file that contains the photo.
- # %I is the same as %i, but the file isn't deleted afterwards by GnuPG.
- # %k is expanded to the key ID of the key.
- # %K is expanded to the long OpenPGP key ID of the key.
- # %t is expanded to the extension of the image (e.g. "jpg").
- # %T is expanded to the MIME type of the image (e.g. "image/jpeg").
- # %f is expanded to the fingerprint of the key.
- # %% is %, of course.
- #
- # If %i or %I are not present, then the photo is supplied to the
- # viewer on standard input. If your platform supports it, standard
- # input is the best way to do this as it avoids the time and effort in
- # generating and then cleaning up a secure temp file.
- #
- # The default program is "xloadimage -fork -quiet -title 'KeyID 0x%k' stdin"
- # On Mac OS X and Windows, the default is to use your regular JPEG image
- # viewer.
- #
- # Some other viewers:
- # photo-viewer "qiv %i"
- # photo-viewer "ee %i"
- # photo-viewer "display -title 'KeyID 0x%k'"
- #
- # This one saves a copy of the photo ID in your home directory:
- # photo-viewer "cat > ~/photoid-for-key-%k.%t"
- #
- # Use your MIME handler to view photos:
- # photo-viewer "metamail -q -d -b -c %T -s 'KeyID 0x%k' -f GnuPG"
-
- # Passphrase agent
- #
- # We support the old experimental passphrase agent protocol as well as
- # the new Assuan based one (currently available in the "newpg" package
- # at ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/aegypten/). To make use of the agent,
- # you have to run an agent as daemon and use the option
- #
- # use-agent
- #
- # which tries to use the agent but will fallback to the regular mode
- # if there is a problem connecting to the agent. The normal way to
- # locate the agent is by looking at the environment variable
- # GPG_AGENT_INFO which should have been set during gpg-agent startup.
- # In certain situations the use of this variable is not possible, thus
- # the option
- #
- # --gpg-agent-info=<path>:<pid>:1
- #
- # may be used to override it.
