NAME
pgpgpg - wrapper around Gnu Privacy Guard that takes Pretty Good Privacy command line options SYNOPSIS
pgpgpg [options] pgpfile pgpgpg -e [options] file user ... DESCRIPTION
PGPGPG is a wrapper that allows calls to GnuPG (Gnu Privacy Guard) using the command line options of (Pretty Good Privacy). PGP and GnuPG are encryption programms with high security encryption engines. However, PGP is available without a fee but is not realy free software. GnuPG on the other hand is realy free software and has additionally features but with a different command line syntax than PGP. The goal of pgpgpg is to plug in a command line syntax in front of GnuPG equal to PGP 2.6. OPTIONS
The following options are supported by pgpgpg notice that long options do not use the usual GNU syntax (--) but, instead are of the form +option[=value]. -e Encrypt a plaintext file. -d, -p Decrypt a plaintext file. -s Sign a plaintext file. pgpgpg -s file [-u userid] -sb Create a separate signature certificate (a .sig file) for a given file. pgpgpg -sb file [-u userid] -c Use convential cryptography when encrypting. -o Output to the file specified. Should only be used for encryption, decryption and signature operations (not for key management). -a, +armor ASCII armor the output file. -u, +myname Select the userid to use for some operations. -kg Generate a unique public/secret pair. -ka Add a public or secret key to your key ring. pgpgpg -ka keyfile [keyring] -kx Extract a copy from your public or secret keyring. pgpgpg -kx[a] userid keyfile [keyring] -kv View the contents of your keyring. pgpgpg -kv[v] [userid] [keyring] -kvc View a key fingerprint. pgpgpg -kvc [userid] [keyring] -kr Remove a key from your keyring. pgpgpg -kr userid [keyring] -kd If acting on your secret key, permanently revoke a key and issue a compromise certificate. If acting on a public key, disable or reenable a key. pgpgpg -kd userid -ke Edit trust parameters for a public key or edit the pass phrase or add a userid to a secret key. pgpgpg -ke userid [keyring] -kc View the contents and check the certifying signatures of your public key ring. pgpgpg -kc [userid] [keyring] -ks Sign and certify someone's public key. pgpgpg -ks userid [-u userid] [keyring] The following options are ignored or unsupported: ++armorlines, +autosign, +bakring, +interactive, +keepbinary, +language, +legal_kludge, +nomanual, +pager, +randseed, +tmp and +tzfix. BUGS
PGPGPG does not currently provide an online help (-h or -?) and will not show a summary of commands, as PGP does, when typing: pgp -k The following options are not documented (yet): +batchmode, +cert_depth, +charset, +encrypttoself, +force, +clearsig, +comment, +com- pletes_needed, +compress, +marginals_needed, +pubring, +secring, +textmode and +verbose. AUTHORS
PGP was originally written by Philip R. Zimmermann. PGPGPG was written by Michael Roth. This manpage was written by Javier Fernandez-Sanguino for the Debian distribution (but may be used by others) by glancing at PGP's manpage and the source code from PGPGPG (pgpopts.c) PGPGPG Version 0.13 PGP(1)

KEYCTL_LINK(3)						    Linux Key Management Calls						    KEYCTL_LINK(3)

NAME
keyctl_link - Link a key to a keyring keyctl_unlink - Unlink a key from a keyring SYNOPSIS
#include <keyutils.h> long keyctl_link(key_serial_t key, key_serial_t keyring); long keyctl_unlink(key_serial_t key, key_serial_t keyring); DESCRIPTION
keyctl_link() creates a link from keyring to key, displacing any link to another key of the same type and description in that keyring if one exists. keyctl_unlink() removes the link from keyring to key if it exists. The caller must have write permission on a keyring to be able create or remove links in it. The caller must have link permission on a key to be able to create a link to it. RETURN VALUE
On success keyctl_link() and keyctl_unlink() return 0. On error, the value -1 will be returned and errno will have been set to an appro- priate error. ERRORS
ENOKEY The key or the keyring specified are invalid. EKEYEXPIRED The key or the keyring specified have expired. EKEYREVOKED The key or the keyring specified have been revoked. EACCES The keyring exists, but is not writable by the calling process. For keyctl_link() only: ENOMEM Insufficient memory to expand the keyring EDQUOT Expanding the keyring would exceed the keyring owner's quota. EACCES The key exists, but is not linkable by the calling process. LINKING
This is a library function that can be found in libkeyutils. When linking, -lkeyutils should be specified to the linker. SEE ALSO
