NAME
       pgpv - Decrypts and Verifies messages.

SYNOPSIS
       pgpv [-dfKmqv] [-z|-zs] [-o <outfile>] file ...

DESCRIPTION
       pgpv  Decrypts  and verifies files encrypted and/or signed
       by PGP.

OPTIONS
       All configuration options can be controlled from the  com-
       mand  line.  See pgp.cfg(5) for a complete list and how to
       specify them.

       -d     Leave signature intact; just verify (don't save any
              output).

       -f     Stream  mode.   Accepts  input  on stdin and places
              output on stdout.  If no  files  are  specified  as
              arguments, pgp executes in this mode by default.

       -o outfile
              Specifies that output should go to outfile.  If not
              specified, output goes  to  the  default  filename.
              The  default  filename  for  each input file is the
              input filename with the  ".pgp"  ".asc"  or  ".sig"
              removed.   It is an error to specify multiple input
              files with this option.

       -K     Do not process any keys found in the message.  Nor-
              mally,  PGP  will add any keys found in the message
              to your keyring.

       -m     More mode.   Displays  message  output  with  PGP's
              internal  pager,  or  the  Pager  specified in your
              pgp.cfg(5) file.

       -z     Batch mode.  See pgp-integration(7) for  a  discus-
              sion  of integrating pgp support into your applica-
              tion.

EXAMPLE
       pgpv document.txt.asc
              Decrypts and/or verifies the file document.txt.asc.
              The resultant file will be document.txt.

FILES
       ~/.pgp/pgp.cfg
              User-specific   configuration  file.   In  previous
              releases, this file  was  called  config.txt.   See
              pgp.cfg(5) for further details.
