SYNOPSIS

       gpg-zip [OPTIONS] filename1 [filename2, ...]  directory1 [directory2, ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the gpg-zip command.

       gpg-zip  encrypts  or  signs  files  into an archive. It is an gpg-ized tar using the same
       format as PGP's PGP Zip.

OPTIONS

       -e, --encrypt
              Encrypt data. This option may be combined with --symmetric (for output that may  be

       -d, --decrypt
              Decrypt data.

       -c, --symmetric
              Encrypt  with  a symmetric cipher using a passphrase.  The default symmetric cipher

       -s, --sign
              Make a signature. See gpg(1).
