--encrypt-to NAME encrypt to user ID NAME as well
--group SPEC set up email aliases
--openpgp use strict OpenPGP behavior
-n, --dry-run do not make any changes
-i, --interactive prompt before overwriting
Options controlling the output:
-a, --armor create ascii armored output
-o, --output FILE write output to FILE
--textmode use canonical text mode
-z N set compress level to N (0 disables)
Options controlling key import and export:
--auto-key-locate MECHANISMS use MECHANISMS to locate keys by mail address
--auto-key-import import missing key from a signature
--include-key-block include the public key in signatures
--disable-dirmngr disable all access to the dirmngr
Options to specify keys:
-r, --recipient USER-ID encrypt for USER-ID
-u, --local-user USER-ID use USER-ID to sign or decrypt
(See the man page for a complete listing of all commands and options)
Examples:
-se -r Bob [file] sign and encrypt for user Bob
