 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.
