# keyanalyze(1)

Web of Trust analysis

## NAME

keyanalyze - Web of Trust analysis

## SYNTAX

**keyanalyze** \[ **-h1** \] \[ **-i** *infile* \] \[ **-o** *outdir* \]

## DESCRIPTION

*keyanalyze* analyses the web of trust within a group of keys.  It takes preprocessed keys as input (see [**process\_keys**(1)](/process_keys/1.md)) and produces an output directory full of statistics about the keys.

Usually called like\
  $ pgpring -S -k ./keyring.gpg \| process\_keys \> preprocess.keys\
  $ keyanalyze

## OPTIONS

- **-i** *infile*

  Read from *infile* instead of **preprocess.keys**.

- **-o** *outdir*

  Put the results in *outdir* instead of **output/**.  The directory will be created if it does not already exist.

- **-h**

  Print help.

- **-1**

  Per default, **keyanalyze** writes the output into subdirectories named after the first two characters of the key ID. This options disables this; useful for small keyrings.
