1.2.3 Input and Output
----------------------
`--armor'
`-a'
Create ASCII armored output. The default is to create the binary
OpenPGP format.
`--no-armor'
Assume the input data is not in ASCII armored format.
`--output FILE'
`-o FILE'
Write output to FILE.
`--max-output `n''
This option sets a limit on the number of bytes that will be
generated when processing a file. Since OpenPGP supports various
levels of compression, it is possible that the plaintext of a
given message may be significantly larger than the original
OpenPGP message. While GnuPG works properly with such messages,
there is often a desire to set a maximum file size that will be
generated before processing is forced to stop by the OS limits.
Defaults to 0, which means "no limit".
`--import-options `parameters''
This is a space or comma delimited string that gives options for
importing keys. Options can be prepended with a `no-' to give the
opposite meaning. The options are:
import-local-sigs
Allow importing key signatures marked as "local". This is not
generally useful unless a shared keyring scheme is being used.
Defaults to no.
repair-pks-subkey-bug
During import, attempt to repair the damage caused by the PKS
keyserver bug (pre version 0.9.6) that mangles keys with
multiple subkeys. Note that this cannot completely repair the
damaged key as some crucial data is removed by the keyserver,
but it does at least give you back one subkey. Defaults to no
for regular `--import' and to yes for keyserver `--recv-keys'.
merge-only
During import, allow key updates to existing keys, but do not
allow any new keys to be imported. Defaults to no.
import-clean
After import, compact (remove all signatures except the
self-signature) any user IDs from the new key that are not
usable. Then, remove any signatures from the new key that
are not usable. This includes signatures that were issued by
keys that are not present on the keyring. This option is the
same as running the `--edit-key' command "clean" after
import. Defaults to no.
import-minimal
Import the smallest key possible. This removes all signatures
except the most recent self-signature on each user ID. This
option is the same as running the `--edit-key' command
"minimize" after import. Defaults to no.
`--export-options `parameters''
This is a space or comma delimited string that gives options for
exporting keys. Options can be prepended with a `no-' to give the
opposite meaning. The options are:
export-local-sigs
Allow exporting key signatures marked as "local". This is not
generally useful unless a shared keyring scheme is being used.
Defaults to no.
export-attributes
Include attribute user IDs (photo IDs) while exporting. This
is useful to export keys if they are going to be used by an
OpenPGP program that does not accept attribute user IDs.
Defaults to yes.
export-sensitive-revkeys
Include designated revoker information that was marked as
"sensitive". Defaults to no.
export-reset-subkey-passwd
When using the `--export-secret-subkeys' command, this option
resets the passphrases for all exported subkeys to empty.
This is useful when the exported subkey is to be used on an
unattended machine where a passphrase doesn't necessarily
make sense. Defaults to no.
export-clean
Compact (remove all signatures from) user IDs on the key being
exported if the user IDs are not usable. Also, do not export
any signatures that are not usable. This includes signatures
that were issued by keys that are not present on the keyring.
This option is the same as running the `--edit-key' command
"clean" before export except that the local copy of the key
is not modified. Defaults to no.
export-minimal
Export the smallest key possible. This removes all signatures
except the most recent self-signature on each user ID. This
option is the same as running the `--edit-key' command
"minimize" before export except that the local copy of the
key is not modified. Defaults to no.
`--with-colons'
Print key listings delimited by colons. Note that the output will
be encoded in UTF-8 regardless of any `--display-charset' setting.
This format is useful when GnuPG is called from scripts and other
programs as it is easily machine parsed. The details of this
format are documented in the file `doc/DETAILS', which is included
in the GnuPG source distribution.
`--fixed-list-mode'
Do not merge primary user ID and primary key in `--with-colon'
listing mode and print all timestamps as seconds since 1970-01-01.
`--with-fingerprint'
Same as the command `--fingerprint' but changes only the format of
the output and may be used together with another command.
