man apgp (Commandes) - wrapper around pgp that provides passphrases for you
NAME
apgp - wrapper around pgp that provides passphrases for you
SYNOPSIS
apgp [ OPTION ... ] [ FILE ] [ USERID ... ]
DESCRIPTION
When q-agent is running, apgp can be used instead of pgp, and it will try to get all necessary passphrases from the agent instead of asking you directly.
Since all arguments are handed off to pgp verbatim, the interface of apgp is exactly the same as that of pgp.
The following pgp options will influence the behaviour of apgp itself:
- -u, +myname NAME
- informs apgp that it should provide the passphrase for the key indicated by NAME.
- --version
- apgp will output its version, too.
COMPATIBILITY
apgp is inteded to work only with pgp versions that start with 2.6.
ENVIRONMENT
- AGENT_SOCKET
- apgp will use this variable to find the socket for communicating with the agent.
- PGPPASSFD
- Because this variable is used by apgp itself, any value inherited from a calling process will be effectively ignored.
