NAME
pius - PGP Individual UID Signer
SYNOPSIS
pius [options] -s <signer-keyid> <keyid> [ <keyid> ... ]
pius [options] -A -r <keyring-path> -s <signer-keyid>
DESCRIPTION
pius is a tool for individually signing all of the UIDs on a set of keys, and emailing an encrypted copy
of each such signature to the email address associated with that UID.
As a result of this process, the recipient can choose which signatures to import. Also, signatures of
inactive uids are not delivered. This tool greatly reduces time and error when signing keys.
OPTIONS
--version
show program's version number and exit
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-a, --use-agent
Use gpg-agent instead of letting gpg prompt the user or every UID. [default: true]
-A, --all-keys
Sign all keys on the keyring. Requires -r.
-d, --debug
Enable debugging output.
-b PATH, --gpg-path=PATH
Path to gpg binary. [default: /usr/bin/gpg2]
-e, --encrypt-outfiles
Encrypt output files with respective keys.
-H HOSTNAME, --mail-host=HOSTNAME
Hostname of SMTP server. [default: localhost]
-i, --interactive
Use the pexpect module for signing and drop to the gpg shell for entering the passphrase.
[default: false]
-I, --import
Also import the unsigned keys from the keyring into the default keyring. Ignored if -r is not
specified, or if it's the same as the default keyring.
-m FROM-EMAIL, --mail=FROM-EMAIL
Email the encrypted, signed keys to the respective email addresses using FROM-EMAIL as the sender.
See also -H and -P.
-M FILE, --mail-text=FILE
Use the text in FILE as the body of email when sending out emails instead of the default text. To
see the default text use --print-default-email. Requires -m.
-N, --no-sort-keyring
Do not sort the keyring by name.
-n TO-EMAIL, --override-email=TO-EMAIL
Rather than send to the user, send to this address. Mostly useful for debugging.
-o OUTPUT-DIR, --out-dir=OUTPUT-DIR
Directory to put signed keys in. [default: /tmp/pius_out]
-O, --no-pgp-mime
Do not use PGP/Mime when sending email.

-P PORT, --mail-port=PORT
Port of SMTP server. [default: 25]
-r KEYRING, --keyring=KEYRING
The keyring to use. Be sure to specify full or relative path. Just a filename will cause GPG to
assume relative to ~/.gnupg. [default: ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg]
-s SIGNER-KEYID, --signer=SIGNER-KEYID
The keyid to sign with (required).
-f KEYID, --force-signer=KEYID
Force GnuPG to use this exact keyid to sign (do not guess subkey)
-S, --no-mail-tls
