       -d, --decrypt
	      Decrypt data.

       -c, --symmetric
	      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(1).

       -s, --sign
	      Make a signature. See gpg(1).

       -r, --recipient USER
	      Encrypt for user id USER. See gpg(1).

       --tar-args ARGS

       -h, --help
	      Output a short usage information.

       --version
	      Output the program version.

DIAGNOSTICS

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

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
