NAME

       keyboxd - Public key management for GnuPG

SYNOPSIS

       keyboxd [OPTIONS] [COMMAND]

DESCRIPTION

       keyboxd is a public key management service for GnuPG.

COMMANDS

       Commands  are  not distinguished from options except for the fact that only one command is
       allowed.

       --version
              Print  the program version and licensing information.

       --help Print a usage message summarizing the most useful command-line options.

       --server
              Run in server mode and wait for commands on the stdin.   The  default  mode  is  to
              create a socket and listen for commands there.  This is only used for testing.

       --daemon
              Run in background daemon mode and listen for commands on a socket.  This is the way
              keyboxd is started on demand by the other  GnuPG  components.   To  force  starting
              keyboxd it is in general best to use gpgconf --launch keyboxd.

       --supervised
              Run  in the foreground, sending logs to stderr, and listening on file descriptor 3,
              which must already be bound to a listening socket.  This  is  useful  when  running
              under  systemd  or  other  similar process supervision schemes.  This option is not
              supported on Windows.

OPTIONS

       Note that all long options with the exception of --options and --homedir may also be given
       in the configuration file after stripping off the two leading dashes.

       --options file
              Reads  configuration  from  file instead of from the default per-user configuration
              file.  The default configuration file is named ‘keyboxd.conf’ and expected  in  the
              home directory.

       --homedir dir
              Set the name of the home directory to dir.  This option is only effective when used
              on the command line.  The default is the directory named  ‘.gnupg’  directly  below
              the  home  directory of the user unless the environment variable GNUPGHOME has been
              set in which case its value will be used.  Many kinds of  data  are  stored  within
              this directory.

       -v

       --verbose
              Outputs  additional  information  while running.  You can increase the verbosity by
              giving several verbose commands to keyboxd, such as -vv.

       --log-file file
              Append all logging output to file.  This is very helpful in seeing what  the  agent
              actually does.  Use ‘socket://’ to log to socket.

       --debug-level level
              Select the debug level for investigating problems.  level may be a numeric value or
              by a keyword:

              none   No debugging at all.  A value of less than 1 may  be  used  instead  of  the
                     keyword.

              basic  Some  basic  debug messages.  A value between 1 and 2 may be used instead of
                     the keyword.

              advanced
                     More verbose debug messages.  A value between 3 and 5 may be used instead of
                     the keyword.

              expert Even more detailed messages.  A value between 6 and 8 may be used instead of
                     the keyword.

              guru   All of the debug messages you can get. A value greater than 8  may  be  used
                     instead  of the keyword.  The creation of hash tracing files is only enabled
                     if the keyword is used.

       How these messages are mapped to the actual debugging  flags  is  not  specified  and  may
       change  with  newer  releases of this program. They are however carefully selected to best
       aid in debugging.

       --debug flags
              Set debugging flags.  This option is only useful for debugging and its behavior may
              change  with a new release.  All flags are or-ed and may be given in C syntax (e.g.
              0x0042) or as a comma separated list of flag names.  To get a list of all supported
              flags the single word "help" can be used.

       --debug-all
              Same as --debug=0xffffffff

FILES

       Keyboxd  uses  a  configuration  file which controls the operation of keyboxd.  By default
       they may all be found in the current home directory (see: [option --homedir]).

       keyboxd.conf
              This is the standard configuration file read by keyboxd on startup.  It may contain
              any valid long option; the leading two dashes may not be entered and the option may
              not be abbreviated.  This file is also read after a SIGHUP however not all  options
              will actually have an effect.  This default name may be changed on the command line
              (see: [option --options]).  You should backup this file.

       pubring.db
              This file is a database in SQLite format, for  public  key  material.   You  should
              backup this file.
