NAME
muverify - verify message signatures and display information about them
SYNOPSIS
mu [common-options] verify [options] <msgfile>
DESCRIPTION
mu verify is the mu command for verifying message signatures (such as PGP/GPG signatures) and displaying information about them. The sub-command works on message files, and does not require the message to be indexed in the database.
VERIFY OPTIONS
-r, --auto-retrieve attempt to find keys online (see the auto-key-retrieve option in the gnupg(1) documentation). decrypt attempt to decrypt the message
COMMON OPTIONS
-d, --debug makes mu generate extra debug information, useful for debugging the program itself. By default, debug information goes to the log file, ~/.cache/mu/mu.log. It can safely be deleted when mu is not running. When running with --debug option, the log file can grow rather quickly. See the note on logging below. -q, --quiet causes mu not to output informational messages and progress information to standard output, but only to the log file. Error messages will still be sent to standard error. Note that mu index is much faster with --quiet, so it is recommended you use this option when using mu from scripts etc. --log-stderr causes mu to not output log messages to standard error, in addition to sending them to the log file. --nocolor do not use ANSI colors. The environment variable NOCOLOR can be used as an alternative to --nocolor. -V, --version prints mu version and copyright information. -h, --help lists the various command line options.
EXAMPLES
To display aggregated (one-line) information about the verification status in a message: $ mu verify msgfile To display information about all the signatures: $ mu verify --verbose msgfile If you only want to use the exit code, you can use: $ mu verify --quiet msgfile which does not give any output unless there is an error.
