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
       (Pretty Good Privacy). PGP and GnuPG are encryption programms  with  high  security  encryption  engines.
       However,   PGP is available without a fee but is not realy free software.  GnuPG  on  the other  hand  is
       realy 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 convential 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]

       others) by glancing at PGP's manpage and the source code from PGPGPG (pgpopts.c)
