NAME

       gnunet-identity - create, delete or list egos

SYNOPSIS

       gnunet-identity [options]

DESCRIPTION

       gnunet-identity  is  a  tool  for managing egos.  An ego is the persona that controls a namespace.  It is
       identical to a public-private ECC key pair.

       gnunet-identity can be used to list all of the egos that were created locally, to create new egos, and to
       delete existing egos (the namespace will continue to exist, but it will be impossible to  add  additional
       data to it).

       Creating a new ego requires using the -C option together with an identifier (name) that is to be used for
       the new ego.  This identifier is only used locally for this peer and not shared with other peers.

       -C NAME, --create=NAME
              Creates a new ego with the given NAME.

       -D NAME, --delete=NAME
              Delete the ego with the given NAME.

       -e NAME, --ego=NAME
              Perform "set" operation with the respective ego.  Needs to be used together with option -s.

       -h, --help
              Print help page.

       -d, --display
              display all ouf our egos

       -m, --monitor
              run in monitor mode, listing all ouf our egos until CTRL-C is pressed. Each ego is listed together
              with a unique pointer value; if egos are renamed, that pointer value remains the same; if egos are
              deleted, they are listed one more time with a name of "<null>".

       -s SUBSYSTEM, --set=SUBSYSTEM
              Perform  "set"  operation  for  the specified SUBSYSTEM with the respective ego.  Needs to be used
              together with option -e.  After this, the given SUBSYSTEM will use  the  ego  with  the  specified
              NAME.  This will fail if NAME does not yet exist.

FILES

       ~/.gnunet/egos/
              Directory where the egos are stored (by default)
