PGPE(1)				  User Manual			       PGPE(1)

NAME
       pgpe - Encrypts and signs messages

SYNOPSIS
       pgpe	 -r	 <recipient>	  [-s	  [-u	  <myid>]]     [-aftz]
       [-o <outfile>] file ...

       pgpe -c [-aftz] [-o outfile] file ...

DESCRIPTION
       pgpe encrypts  and  signs  files	 using	public	key  cryptography,  or
       encrypts files using conventional cryptography.

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

       -a, --armor
	      Turn on "ASCII Armoring."	 This outputs a text-only  version  of
	      your  encrypted  text.   This makes the result safe for mailing,
	      but about 30% larger.

       -c     Conventional encrypting mode.  This uses IDEA  to	 encrypt  your
	      message.	 As  IDEA is a symmetric cipher, no public-key related
	      arguments (-r, -s and -u) are accepted with this argument.

       -f     Stream mode.  Accepts input on stdin and places output  on  std‐
	      out.   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  ".pgp"  appended,
	      unless  ASCII Armoring is turned on, in which case it is ".asc".
	      It is an error to specify multiple input files with this option.

       -s     Sign the document as well as encrypting it.  If you wish to sign
	      only,  use  pgps(1).  This will use your default signing key, or
	      the ID of the key specified with the -u option.

       -t     Turns on text mode.  This causes PGP to convert your input  mes‐
	      sage  to	a  platform-independent form.  It is primarily for use
	      when moving files from one operating system to another.

       -u     Sets the ID of the key used for signing.	This may be a user  ID
	      (such  as	 foo@bar.baz.com)  or  a  Key ID (such as 0x12345678).
	      Specifying this switch without specifying -s (sign)  does	 noth‐
	      ing.

       -z     Batch  mode.   See  pgp-integration(7) for a discussion of inte‐
	      grating pgp support into your application.

EXAMPLE
       pgpe -r foo@bar.baz.com -sat document.txt
	      Signs and encrypts the file document.txt with ASCII Armoring and
	      text  mode on to foo@bar.baz.com's key.  The resultant file will
	      be document.txt.asc.

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

BUGS
	      See pgp5(1).
