agpg1

Usage

Overview

When q-agent is running, agpg can be used instead of gpg, and it will try to get all necessary passphrases from the agent instead of asking you directly.

Since all arguments are handed off to gpg verbatim, the interface of agpg is exactly the same as that of gpg.

The following gpg options will influence the behaviour of agpg itself:

-u, --local-user NAME

informs agpg that it should provide the passphrase for the key indicated by NAME.

--version

agpg will output its version, too.

--passphrase-fd FD

prevents the querying of passphrases from the agent - you will have to provide the passphrases yourself on the given FD. Its usage with agpg is discouraged.

Environment

AGENT_SOCKET

agpg will use this variable to find the socket for communicating with the agent.
