GPG-PRESET-PASSPHRASE(1)       GNU Privacy Guard      GPG-PRESET-PASSPHRASE(1)

NAME
       gpg-preset-passphrase - Put a passphrase into gpg-agent's cache

SYNOPSIS
       gpg-preset-passphrase [options] [command] cache-id

DESCRIPTION
       The  gpg-preset-passphrase is a utility to seed the internal cache of a
       running gpg-agent with passphrases.  It is mainly useful for unattended
       machines,  where	 the  usual  pinentry  tool  may  not  be used and the
       passphrases for the to be used keys are given at machine startup.

       Passphrases set with this utility  don't	 expire	 unless	 the  --forget
       option is used to explicitly clear them from the cache --- or gpg-agent
       is either restarted or reloaded (by sending a SIGHUP  to	 it).	It  is
       necessary  to  allow  this  passphrase presetting by starting gpg-agent
       with the --allow-preset-passphrase.

       gpg-preset-passphrase is invoked this way:

	 gpg-preset-passphrase [options] [command] cacheid

       cacheid is either a 40  character  keygrip  of  hexadecimal  characters
       identifying  the key for which the passphrase should be set or cleared.
       The keygrip is listed along with the  key  when	running	 the  command:
       gpgsm  --dump-secret-keys.   Alternatively  an  arbitrary string may be
       used to identify a passphrase; it is suggested that such	 a  string  is
       prefixed with the name of the application (e.g foo:12346).

       One of the following command options must be given:

       --preset
	      Preset a passphrase. This is what you usually will use. gpg-pre‐
	      set-passphrase will then read the passphrase from stdin.

       --forget
	      Flush the passphrase for the given cache ID from the cache.

	      The following additional options may be used:

       -v

       --verbose
	      Output additional information while running.

       -P string

       --passphrase string
	      Instead of reading the passphrase from stdin, use	 the  supplied
	      string as passphrase.  Note that this makes the passphrase visi‐
	      ble for other users.

       ture and an index.
