16 # Unless you specify which option file to use (with the command line
17 # option "--options filename"), GnuPG uses the file ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
20 # An options file can contain any long options which are available in
21 # GnuPG. If the first non white space character of a line is a '#',
22 # this line is ignored. Empty lines are also ignored.
24 # See the gpg man page for a list of options.
27 # If you have more than 1 secret key in your keyring, you may want to
28 # uncomment the following option and set your preferred keyid.
33 # If you do not pass a recipient to gpg, it will ask for one. Using
34 # this option you can encrypt to a default key. Key validation will
35 # not be done in this case. The second form uses the default key as
38 #default-recipient some-user-id
39 #default-recipient-self
42 # Group names may be defined like this:
43 # group mynames = paige 0x12345678 joe patti
45 # Any time "mynames" is a recipient (-r or --recipient), it will be
46 # expanded to the names "paige", "joe", and "patti", and the key ID
47 # "0x12345678". Note there is only one level of expansion - you
48 # cannot make an group that points to another group. Note also that
49 # if there are spaces in the recipient name, this will appear as two
50 # recipients. In these cases it is better to use the key ID.
52 #group mynames = paige 0x12345678 joe patti
55 # GnuPG can automatically locate and retrieve keys as needed using
56 # this option. This happens when encrypting to an email address (in
57 # the "user@@example.com" form) and there are no keys matching
58 # "user@example.com" in the local keyring. This option takes any
59 # number mechanisms which are tried in the given order. The default
60 # is "--auto-key-locate local" to search for keys only in the local
61 # key database. Uncomment the next line to locate a missing key using
62 # two DNS based mechanisms.
64 #auto-key-locate local,pka,dane
67 # Common options for keyserver functions:
68 # (Note that the --keyserver option has been moved to dirmngr.conf)
70 # include-disabled = when searching, include keys marked as "disabled"
71 # on the keyserver (not all keyservers support this).
73 # no-include-revoked = when searching, do not include keys marked as
74 # "revoked" on the keyserver.
76 # verbose = show more information as the keys are fetched.
77 # Can be used more than once to increase the amount
78 # of information shown.
80 # auto-key-retrieve = automatically fetch keys as needed from the keyserver
81 # when verifying signatures or when importing keys that
82 # have been revoked by a revocation key that is not
83 # present on the keyring.
85 # no-include-attributes = do not include attribute IDs (aka "photo IDs")
86 # when sending keys to the keyserver.
88 #keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve
91 # Uncomment this line to display photo user IDs in key listings and
92 # when a signature from a key with a photo is verified.
97 # Use this program to display photo user IDs
99 # %i is expanded to a temporary file that contains the photo.
100 # %I is the same as %i, but the file isn't deleted afterwards by GnuPG.
101 # %k is expanded to the key ID of the key.
102 # %K is expanded to the long OpenPGP key ID of the key.
103 # %t is expanded to the extension of the image (e.g. "jpg").
104 # %T is expanded to the MIME type of the image (e.g. "image/jpeg").
105 # %f is expanded to the fingerprint of the key.
106 # %% is %, of course.
108 # If %i or %I are not present, then the photo is supplied to the
109 # viewer on standard input. If your platform supports it, standard
110 # input is the best way to do this as it avoids the time and effort in
111 # generating and then cleaning up a secure temp file.
113 # The default program is "xloadimage -fork -quiet -title 'KeyID 0x%k' stdin"
114 # On Mac OS X and Windows, the default is to use your regular JPEG image
117 # Some other viewers:
118 # photo-viewer "qiv %i"
119 # photo-viewer "ee %i"
120 # photo-viewer "display -title 'KeyID 0x%k'"
122 # This one saves a copy of the photo ID in your home directory:
123 # photo-viewer "cat > ~/photoid-for-key-%k.%t"
125 # Use your MIME handler to view photos:
126 # photo-viewer "metamail -q -d -b -c %T -s 'KeyID 0x%k' -f GnuPG"
129 # Because some mailers change lines starting with "From " to ">From "
130 # it is good to handle such lines in a special way when creating
131 # cleartext signatures; all other PGP versions do it this way too.
132 # To enable full OpenPGP compliance you may want to use this option.
134 #no-escape-from-lines
137 # Uncomment the following option to get rid of the copyright notice
