NAME

       pgpgpg  -  wrapper  around  Gnu  Privacy Guard that takes Pretty Good Privacy command line
       options

SYNOPSIS

       pgpgpg [options] pgpfile

       pgpgpg -e [options] file user ...

DESCRIPTION

       PGPGPG is a wrapper that allows calls to GnuPG (Gnu Privacy Guard) using the command  line
       options  of  .PGP  (Pretty  Good Privacy). PGP and GnuPG are encryption programs with high
       security encryption engines.  However,  PGP is available without a fee but is  not  really
       free  software.  GnuPG  on  the other  hand  is  really free software and has additionally
       features but with a different command line syntax than PGP.

       The  goal  of pgpgpg is to plug in a command line syntax in front of GnuPG  equal  to  PGP
       2.6.

OPTIONS

       The  following  options  are  supported  by pgpgpg notice that long options do not use the
       usual GNU syntax (--) but, instead are of the form +option[=value].

       -e     Encrypt a plaintext file.

       -d, -p Decrypt a plaintext file.

       -s     Sign a plaintext file.
              pgpgpg -s file [-u userid]

       -sb    Create a separate signature certificate (a .sig file) for a given file.
              pgpgpg -sb file [-u userid]

       -c     Use conventional cryptography when encrypting.

       -o     Output to the file specified. Should only be used for  encryption,  decryption  and
              signature operations (not for key management).

       -a, +armor
              ASCII armor the output file.

       -u, +myname
              Select the userid to use for some operations.

       -kg    Generate a unique public/secret pair.

       -ka    Add a public or secret key to your key ring.
              pgpgpg -ka keyfile [keyring]

       -kx    Extract a copy from your public or secret keyring.
              pgpgpg -kx[a] userid keyfile [keyring]

       -kv    View the contents of your keyring.
              pgpgpg -kv[v] [userid] [keyring]

       -ks    Sign and certify someone's public key.
