       gpa - graphical frontend for the GNU Privacy Guard

SYNOPSIS

       gpa [OPTION(S)] [FILE(S)]

DESCRIPTION

       The  GNU  Privacy  Assistant (GPA) is a graphical user interface for the GNU Privacy Guard
       (GnuPG).

       gpa can be used to encrypt, decrypt, and sign files, to verify signatures  and  to  manage
       the private and public keys.

OPTIONS

       -c, --clipboard
              Open the clipboard.  This is the default action if no arguments are given and a key
              has already been created.

       -C, --card
              Start with the card-manager open.

       -d, --daemon
              Only start the UI server and no user interface.

       --no-remote
              Do not connect to a running instance but start a new one.  This can also be used to
              not start an UI server.

       --debug-edit-fsm
              Debug the Finite State Machine (FSM).

              Enable logging on Win32 systems.

       -f, --files

              added to the command arguments.

       -k, --keyring
              Start with the keyring editor. This is the default for a new installation.
