DESCRIPTION

       most users will want to use is the  OpenPGP  command  line  tool,  named  gpg.   gpgvis  a
       stripped  down  version  of  gpg  with  no  encryption  functionality, used only to verify
       signatures against a trusted keyring.  gpgsm is the X.509/CMS (for S/MIME) counterpart  of
       gpg.  gpg-agent  is  a  passphrase  and  private  key  daemon  which  may also emulate the
       ssh-agent.
