       gpg-zip [options] filename1 [ filename2, ... ] directory1 [ directory2, ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       gpg-zip understands these options:

       --decrypt

       -d     Decrypt data.

       --symmetric

       -c     Encrypt  with  a	symmetric  cipher  using  a  passphrase.   The	default symmetric cipher used is CAST5, but may be chosen with the
	      --cipher-algo option to gpg.

       --sign

       -s     Make a signature.  See gpg.

       --recipient user

       -r user
	      Encrypt for user id user. See gpg.

       --local-user user

       -u user
	      Use user as the key to sign with.  See gpg.

       --list-archive
	      List the contents of the specified archive.

       --output file

       -o file
	      Write output to specified file file.

       --gpg gpgcmd
	      Use the specified command gpgcmd instead of gpg.

       --gpg-args args
	      Pass the specified options to gpg.

       --tar tarcmd
	      Use the specified command tarcmd instead of tar.

       --tar-args args
	      Pass the specified options to tar.

       --version
	      Print version of the program and exit.

       --help Display a brief help page and exit.

EXAMPLES

       Encrypt the contents of directory 'mydocs' for user Bob to file 'test1':

	 gpg-zip --encrypt --output test1 --gpg-args  -r Bob mydocs

       List the contents of archive 'test1':

	 gpg-zip --list-archive test1

DIAGNOSTICS

       The program returns 0 if everything was fine, 1 otherwise.
