@c ******** OPERATIONAL COMMANDS ***********
@c *******************************************
@node Operational GPGSM Commands
@subsection Commands to select the type of operation
@table @gnupgtabopt
@item --encrypt
@opindex encrypt
Perform an encryption. The keys the data is encrypted to must be set
using the option @option{--recipient}.
@item --decrypt
@opindex decrypt
Perform a decryption; the type of input is automatically determined. It
may either be in binary form or PEM encoded; automatic determination of
base-64 encoding is not done.
@item --sign
@opindex sign
Create a digital signature. The key used is either the fist one found
in the keybox or those set with the @option{--local-user} option.
@item --verify
@opindex verify
Check a signature file for validity. Depending on the arguments a
detached signature may also be checked.
@item --server
@opindex server
Run in server mode and wait for commands on the @code{stdin}.
@item --call-dirmngr @var{command} [@var{args}]
@opindex call-dirmngr
Behave as a Dirmngr client issuing the request @var{command} with the
optional list of @var{args}. The output of the Dirmngr is printed
stdout. Please note that file names given as arguments should have an
absolute file name (i.e. commencing with @code{/}) because they are
passed verbatim to the Dirmngr and the working directory of the
Dirmngr might not be the same as the one of this client. Currently it
is not possible to pass data via stdin to the Dirmngr. @var{command}
should not contain spaces.
This is command is required for certain maintaining tasks of the dirmngr
where a dirmngr must be able to call back to @command{gpgsm}. See the Dirmngr
manual for details.
@item --call-protect-tool @var{arguments}
@opindex call-protect-tool
Certain maintenance operations are done by an external program call
@command{gpg-protect-tool}; this is usually not installed in a directory
listed in the PATH variable. This command provides a simple wrapper to
access this tool. @var{arguments} are passed verbatim to this command;
use @samp{--help} to get a list of supported operations.
@end table
@c *******************************************
@c ******* CERTIFICATE MANAGEMENT **********
@c *******************************************
@node Certificate Management
@subsection How to manage the certificates and keys
@table @gnupgtabopt
@item --generate-key
@opindex generate-key
@itemx --gen-key
@opindex gen-key
This command allows the creation of a certificate signing request or a
self-signed certificate. It is commonly used along with the
@option{--output} option to save the created CSR or certificate into a
file. If used with the @option{--batch} a parameter file is used to
create the CSR or certificate and it is further possible to create
non-self-signed certificates.
@item --list-keys
@itemx -k
@opindex list-keys
List all available certificates stored in the local key database.
Note that the displayed data might be reformatted for better human
readability and illegal characters are replaced by safe substitutes.
@item --list-secret-keys
@itemx -K
@opindex list-secret-keys
List all available certificates for which a corresponding a secret key
is available.
@item --list-external-keys @var{pattern}
@opindex list-keys
List certificates matching @var{pattern} using an external server. This
utilizes the @code{dirmngr} service.
@item --list-chain
@opindex list-chain
Same as @option{--list-keys} but also prints all keys making up the chain.
@item --dump-cert
@itemx --dump-keys
@opindex dump-cert
@opindex dump-keys
List all available certificates stored in the local key database using a
format useful mainly for debugging.
@item --dump-chain
@opindex dump-chain
Same as @option{--dump-keys} but also prints all keys making up the chain.
@item --dump-secret-keys
@opindex dump-secret-keys
List all available certificates for which a corresponding a secret key
is available using a format useful mainly for debugging.
@item --dump-external-keys @var{pattern}
@opindex dump-external-keys
List certificates matching @var{pattern} using an external server.
This utilizes the @code{dirmngr} service. It uses a format useful
mainly for debugging.
@item --keydb-clear-some-cert-flags
@opindex keydb-clear-some-cert-flags
This is a debugging aid to reset certain flags in the key database
which are used to cache certain certificate stati. It is especially
useful if a bad CRL or a weird running OCSP responder did accidentally
revoke certificate. There is no security issue with this command
because @command{gpgsm} always make sure that the validity of a certificate is
checked right before it is used.
@item --delete-keys @var{pattern}
@opindex delete-keys
Delete the keys matching @var{pattern}. Note that there is no command
to delete the secret part of the key directly. In case you need to do
this, you should run the command @code{gpgsm --dump-secret-keys KEYID}
before you delete the key, copy the string of hex-digits in the
``keygrip'' line and delete the file consisting of these hex-digits
and the suffix @code{.key} from the @file{private-keys-v1.d} directory
below our GnuPG home directory (usually @file{~/.gnupg}).
@item --export [@var{pattern}]
@opindex export
Export all certificates stored in the Keybox or those specified by the
optional @var{pattern}. Those pattern consist of a list of user ids
(@pxref{how-to-specify-a-user-id}). When used along with the
@option{--armor} option a few informational lines are prepended before
each block. There is one limitation: As there is no commonly agreed
upon way to pack more than one certificate into an ASN.1 structure,
the binary export (i.e. without using @option{armor}) works only for
the export of one certificate. Thus it is required to specify a
@var{pattern} which yields exactly one certificate. Ephemeral
certificate are only exported if all @var{pattern} are given as
fingerprints or keygrips.
@item --export-secret-key-p12 @var{key-id}
@opindex export-secret-key-p12
Export the private key and the certificate identified by @var{key-id}
using the PKCS#12 format. When used with the @code{--armor} option a few
informational lines are prepended to the output. Note, that the PKCS#12
format is not very secure and proper transport security should be used
to convey the exported key. (@xref{option --p12-charset}.)
@item --export-secret-key-p8 @var{key-id}
@itemx --export-secret-key-raw @var{key-id}
@opindex export-secret-key-p8
@opindex export-secret-key-raw
Export the private key of the certificate identified by @var{key-id}
with any encryption stripped. The @code{...-raw} command exports in
PKCS#1 format; the @code{...-p8} command exports in PKCS#8 format.
When used with the @code{--armor} option a few informational lines are
prepended to the output. These commands are useful to prepare a key
for use on a TLS server.
@item --import [@var{files}]
@opindex import
Import the certificates from the PEM or binary encoded files as well as
from signed-only messages. This command may also be used to import a
secret key from a PKCS#12 file.
@item --learn-card
@opindex learn-card
Read information about the private keys from the smartcard and import
the certificates from there. This command utilizes the @command{gpg-agent}
and in turn the @command{scdaemon}.
@item --change-passphrase @var{user_id}
@opindex change-passphrase
@itemx --passwd @var{user_id}
@opindex passwd
Change the passphrase of the private key belonging to the certificate
specified as @var{user_id}. Note, that changing the passphrase/PIN of a
smartcard is not yet supported.

@c ******** CONFIGURATION OPTIONS **********
@c *******************************************
@node Configuration Options
@subsection How to change the configuration
These options are used to change the configuration and are usually found
in the option file.
@table @gnupgtabopt
@anchor{gpgsm-option --options}
@item --options @var{file}
@opindex options
Reads configuration from @var{file} instead of from the default
per-user configuration file. The default configuration file is named
@file{gpgsm.conf} and expected in the @file{.gnupg} directory directly
below the home directory of the user.
@include opt-homedir.texi
@item -v
@item --verbose
@opindex v
@opindex verbose
Outputs additional information while running.
You can increase the verbosity by giving several
verbose commands to @command{gpgsm}, such as @samp{-vv}.
@item --policy-file @var{filename}
@opindex policy-file
Change the default name of the policy file to @var{filename}.
@item --agent-program @var{file}
@opindex agent-program
Specify an agent program to be used for secret key operations. The
default value is determined by running the command @command{gpgconf}.
Note that the pipe symbol (@code{|}) is used for a regression test
suite hack and may thus not be used in the file name.
@item --dirmngr-program @var{file}
@opindex dirmngr-program
Specify a dirmngr program to be used for @acronym{CRL} checks. The
default value is @file{@value{BINDIR}/dirmngr}.
@item --prefer-system-dirmngr
@opindex prefer-system-dirmngr
This option is obsolete and ignored.
@item --disable-dirmngr
Entirely disable the use of the Dirmngr.
@item --no-autostart
@opindex no-autostart
Do not start the gpg-agent or the dirmngr if it has not yet been
started and its service is required. This option is mostly useful on
machines where the connection to gpg-agent has been redirected to
another machines. If dirmngr is required on the remote machine, it
may be started manually using @command{gpgconf --launch dirmngr}.
@item --no-secmem-warning
@opindex no-secmem-warning
Do not print a warning when the so called "secure memory" cannot be used.
@item --log-file @var{file}
@opindex log-file
When running in server mode, append all logging output to @var{file}.
Use @file{socket://} to log to socket.
@end table
@c *******************************************
@c ******** CERTIFICATE OPTIONS ************
@c *******************************************
@node Certificate Options
@subsection Certificate related options
@table @gnupgtabopt
@item --enable-policy-checks
@itemx --disable-policy-checks
@opindex enable-policy-checks
@opindex disable-policy-checks
By default policy checks are enabled. These options may be used to
change it.
@item --enable-crl-checks
@itemx --disable-crl-checks
@opindex enable-crl-checks
@opindex disable-crl-checks
By default the @acronym{CRL} checks are enabled and the DirMngr is used
to check for revoked certificates. The disable option is most useful
with an off-line network connection to suppress this check.
@item --enable-trusted-cert-crl-check
@itemx --disable-trusted-cert-crl-check
@opindex enable-trusted-cert-crl-check
@opindex disable-trusted-cert-crl-check
By default the @acronym{CRL} for trusted root certificates are checked
like for any other certificates. This allows a CA to revoke its own
certificates voluntary without the need of putting all ever issued
certificates into a CRL. The disable option may be used to switch this
extra check off. Due to the caching done by the Dirmngr, there will not be
any noticeable performance gain. Note, that this also disables possible
OCSP checks for trusted root certificates. A more specific way of
disabling this check is by adding the ``relax'' keyword to the root CA
line of the @file{trustlist.txt}
@item --force-crl-refresh
@opindex force-crl-refresh
Tell the dirmngr to reload the CRL for each request. For better
performance, the dirmngr will actually optimize this by suppressing
the loading for short time intervals (e.g. 30 minutes). This option
is useful to make sure that a fresh CRL is available for certificates
hold in the keybox. The suggested way of doing this is by using it
along with the option @option{--with-validation} for a key listing
command. This option should not be used in a configuration file.
+@item --enable-issuer-based-crl-check
+@opindex enable-issuer-based-crl-check
+Run a CRL check even for certificates which do not have any CRL
+distribution point. This requires that a suitable LDAP server has
+been configured in Dirmngr and that the CRL can be found using the
+issuer. This option reverts to what GnuPG did up to version 2.2.20.
+This option is in general not useful.
+
@item --enable-ocsp
@itemx --disable-ocsp
@opindex enable-ocsp
@opindex disable-ocsp
By default @acronym{OCSP} checks are disabled. The enable option may
be used to enable OCSP checks via Dirmngr. If @acronym{CRL} checks
are also enabled, CRLs will be used as a fallback if for some reason an
OCSP request will not succeed. Note, that you have to allow OCSP
requests in Dirmngr's configuration too (option
@option{--allow-ocsp}) and configure Dirmngr properly. If you do not do
so you will get the error code @samp{Not supported}.
@item --auto-issuer-key-retrieve
@opindex auto-issuer-key-retrieve
If a required certificate is missing while validating the chain of
certificates, try to load that certificate from an external location.
This usually means that Dirmngr is employed to search for the
certificate. Note that this option makes a "web bug" like behavior
possible. LDAP server operators can see which keys you request, so by
sending you a message signed by a brand new key (which you naturally
will not have on your local keybox), the operator can tell both your IP
address and the time when you verified the signature.
@anchor{gpgsm-option --validation-model}
@item --validation-model @var{name}
@opindex validation-model
This option changes the default validation model. The only possible
values are "shell" (which is the default), "chain" which forces the
use of the chain model and "steed" for a new simplified model. The
chain model is also used if an option in the @file{trustlist.txt} or
an attribute of the certificate requests it. However the standard
model (shell) is in that case always tried first.
@item --ignore-cert-extension @var{oid}
@opindex ignore-cert-extension
Add @var{oid} to the list of ignored certificate extensions. The
@var{oid} is expected to be in dotted decimal form, like
@code{2.5.29.3}. This option may be used more than once. Critical
flagged certificate extensions matching one of the OIDs in the list
are treated as if they are actually handled and thus the certificate
will not be rejected due to an unknown critical extension. Use this
option with care because extensions are usually flagged as critical
for a reason.
@end table
@c *******************************************
@c *********** INPUT AND OUTPUT ************
@c *******************************************
@node Input and Output
@subsection Input and Output
@table @gnupgtabopt
@item --armor
@itemx -a
@opindex armor
Create PEM encoded output. Default is binary output.
@item --base64
@opindex base64
Create Base-64 encoded output; i.e. PEM without the header lines.
@item --assume-armor
@opindex assume-armor
Assume the input data is PEM encoded. Default is to autodetect the
encoding but this is may fail.
@item --assume-base64
@opindex assume-base64
Assume the input data is plain base-64 encoded.
@item --assume-binary
@opindex assume-binary
Assume the input data is binary encoded.
@anchor{option --p12-charset}
@item --p12-charset @var{name}
@opindex p12-charset
@command{gpgsm} uses the UTF-8 encoding when encoding passphrases for
PKCS#12 files. This option may be used to force the passphrase to be
encoded in the specified encoding @var{name}. This is useful if the
application used to import the key uses a different encoding and thus
will not be able to import a file generated by @command{gpgsm}. Commonly
used values for @var{name} are @code{Latin1} and @code{CP850}. Note
that @command{gpgsm} itself automagically imports any file with a
passphrase encoded to the most commonly used encodings.
@item --default-key @var{user_id}
@opindex default-key
Use @var{user_id} as the standard key for signing. This key is used if
no other key has been defined as a signing key. Note, that the first
@option{--local-users} option also sets this key if it has not yet been
set; however @option{--default-key} always overrides this.
@item --local-user @var{user_id}
@item -u @var{user_id}
@opindex local-user
Set the user(s) to be used for signing. The default is the first
secret key found in the database.
@item --recipient @var{name}
@itemx -r
@opindex recipient
Encrypt to the user id @var{name}. There are several ways a user id
may be given (@pxref{how-to-specify-a-user-id}).
@item --output @var{file}
@itemx -o @var{file}
@opindex output
Write output to @var{file}. The default is to write it to stdout.
@anchor{gpgsm-option --with-key-data}
@item --with-key-data
@opindex with-key-data
Displays extra information with the @code{--list-keys} commands. Especially
a line tagged @code{grp} is printed which tells you the keygrip of a
key. This string is for example used as the file name of the
secret key. Implies @code{--with-colons}.
@anchor{gpgsm-option --with-validation}
@item --with-validation
@opindex with-validation
When doing a key listing, do a full validation check for each key and
print the result. This is usually a slow operation because it
requires a CRL lookup and other operations.
When used along with @option{--import}, a validation of the certificate to
import is done and only imported if it succeeds the test. Note that
this does not affect an already available certificate in the DB.
This option is therefore useful to simply verify a certificate.
@item --with-md5-fingerprint
For standard key listings, also print the MD5 fingerprint of the
certificate.
@item --with-keygrip
Include the keygrip in standard key listings. Note that the keygrip is
always listed in @option{--with-colons} mode.
@item --with-secret
@opindex with-secret
Include info about the presence of a secret key in public key listings
done with @code{--with-colons}.
@end table
@c *******************************************
@c ************* CMS OPTIONS ***************
@c *******************************************
@node CMS Options
@subsection How to change how the CMS is created
@table @gnupgtabopt
@item --include-certs @var{n}
@opindex include-certs
Using @var{n} of -2 includes all certificate except for the root cert,
-1 includes all certs, 0 does not include any certs, 1 includes only the
signers cert and all other positive values include up to @var{n}
certificates starting with the signer cert. The default is -2.
@item --cipher-algo @var{oid}
@opindex cipher-algo
Use the cipher algorithm with the ASN.1 object identifier @var{oid} for
encryption. For convenience the strings @code{3DES}, @code{AES} and
@code{AES256} may be used instead of their OIDs. The default is
@code{AES} (2.16.840.1.101.3.4.1.2).
@item --digest-algo @code{name}
Use @code{name} as the message digest algorithm. Usually this
algorithm is deduced from the respective signing certificate. This
option forces the use of the given algorithm and may lead to severe
interoperability problems.
@end table
@c *******************************************
@c ******** ESOTERIC OPTIONS ***************
@c *******************************************
@node Esoteric Options
@subsection Doing things one usually do not want to do
@table @gnupgtabopt
@item --extra-digest-algo @var{name}
@opindex extra-digest-algo
Sometimes signatures are broken in that they announce a different digest
algorithm than actually used. @command{gpgsm} uses a one-pass data
processing model and thus needs to rely on the announced digest
algorithms to properly hash the data. As a workaround this option may
be used to tell @command{gpgsm} to also hash the data using the algorithm
@var{name}; this slows processing down a little bit but allows verification of
such broken signatures. If @command{gpgsm} prints an error like
``digest algo 8 has not been enabled'' you may want to try this option,
with @samp{SHA256} for @var{name}.
@item --faked-system-time @var{epoch}
@opindex faked-system-time
This option is only useful for testing; it sets the system time back or
forth to @var{epoch} which is the number of seconds elapsed since the year
1970. Alternatively @var{epoch} may be given as a full ISO time string
(e.g. "20070924T154812").
@item --with-ephemeral-keys
@opindex with-ephemeral-keys
Include ephemeral flagged keys in the output of key listings. Note
that they are included anyway if the key specification for a listing
is given as fingerprint or keygrip.
@item --debug-level @var{level}
@opindex debug-level
Select the debug level for investigating problems. @var{level} may be
a numeric value or by a keyword:
@table @code
@item none
No debugging at all. A value of less than 1 may be used instead of
the keyword.
@item basic
Some basic debug messages. A value between 1 and 2 may be used
instead of the keyword.
@item advanced
More verbose debug messages. A value between 3 and 5 may be used
instead of the keyword.
@item expert
Even more detailed messages. A value between 6 and 8 may be used
instead of the keyword.
@item guru
All of the debug messages you can get. A value greater than 8 may be
used instead of the keyword. The creation of hash tracing files is
only enabled if the keyword is used.
@end table
How these messages are mapped to the actual debugging flags is not
specified and may change with newer releases of this program. They are
however carefully selected to best aid in debugging.
@item --debug @var{flags}
@opindex debug
This option is only useful for debugging and the behaviour may change
at any time without notice; using @code{--debug-levels} is the
preferred method to select the debug verbosity. FLAGS are bit encoded
and may be given in usual C-Syntax. The currently defined bits are:
@table @code
@item 0 (1)
X.509 or OpenPGP protocol related data
@item 1 (2)
values of big number integers
@item 2 (4)
low level crypto operations
@item 5 (32)
memory allocation
@item 6 (64)
caching
@item 7 (128)
show memory statistics
@item 9 (512)
write hashed data to files named @code{dbgmd-000*}
@item 10 (1024)
trace Assuan protocol
@end table
Note, that all flags set using this option may get overridden by
@code{--debug-level}.
@item --debug-all
@opindex debug-all
Same as @code{--debug=0xffffffff}
@item --debug-allow-core-dump
@opindex debug-allow-core-dump
Usually @command{gpgsm} tries to avoid dumping core by well written code and by
disabling core dumps for security reasons. However, bugs are pretty
durable beasts and to squash them it is sometimes useful to have a core
dump. This option enables core dumps unless the Bad Thing happened
before the option parsing.
@item --debug-no-chain-validation
@opindex debug-no-chain-validation
This is actually not a debugging option but only useful as such. It
lets @command{gpgsm} bypass all certificate chain validation checks.
@item --debug-ignore-expiration
@opindex debug-ignore-expiration
This is actually not a debugging option but only useful as such. It
lets @command{gpgsm} ignore all notAfter dates, this is used by the regression
tests.
@item --passphrase-fd @code{n}
@opindex passphrase-fd
Read the passphrase from file descriptor @code{n}. Only the first line
will be read from file descriptor @code{n}. If you use 0 for @code{n},
the passphrase will be read from STDIN. This can only be used if only
one passphrase is supplied.
Note that this passphrase is only used if the option @option{--batch}
has also been given.
@item --pinentry-mode @code{mode}
@opindex pinentry-mode
Set the pinentry mode to @code{mode}. Allowed values for @code{mode}
are:
@table @asis
@item default
Use the default of the agent, which is @code{ask}.
@item ask
Force the use of the Pinentry.
@item cancel
Emulate use of Pinentry's cancel button.
@item error
Return a Pinentry error (``No Pinentry'').
@item loopback
Redirect Pinentry queries to the caller. Note that in contrast to
Pinentry the user is not prompted again if he enters a bad password.
@end table
@item --request-origin @var{origin}
@opindex request-origin
Tell gpgsm to assume that the operation ultimately originated at
@var{origin}. Depending on the origin certain restrictions are applied
and the Pinentry may include an extra note on the origin. Supported
values for @var{origin} are: @code{local} which is the default,
@code{remote} to indicate a remote origin or @code{browser} for an
operation requested by a web browser.
@item --no-common-certs-import
@opindex no-common-certs-import
Suppress the import of common certificates on keybox creation.

warning; certificates with policies marked as critical and not listed
in this file will fail the signature verification. You should backup
this file.
For example, to allow only the policy 2.289.9.9, the file should look
like this:
@c man:.RS
@example
# Allowed policies
2.289.9.9
@end example
@c man:.RE
@item qualified.txt
@efindex qualified.txt
This is the list of root certificates used for qualified certificates.
They are defined as certificates capable of creating legally binding
signatures in the same way as handwritten signatures are. Comments
start with a hash mark and empty lines are ignored. Lines do have a
length limit but this is not a serious limitation as the format of the
entries is fixed and checked by @command{gpgsm}: A non-comment line starts with
optional whitespace, followed by exactly 40 hex characters, white space
and a lowercased 2 letter country code. Additional data delimited with
by a white space is current ignored but might late be used for other
purposes.
Note that even if a certificate is listed in this file, this does not
mean that the certificate is trusted; in general the certificates listed
in this file need to be listed also in @file{trustlist.txt}.
This is a global file an installed in the data directory
(e.g. @file{@value{DATADIR}/qualified.txt}). GnuPG installs a suitable
file with root certificates as used in Germany. As new Root-CA
certificates may be issued over time, these entries may need to be
updated; new distributions of this software should come with an updated
list but it is still the responsibility of the Administrator to check
that this list is correct.
Every time @command{gpgsm} uses a certificate for signing or verification
this file will be consulted to check whether the certificate under
question has ultimately been issued by one of these CAs. If this is the
case the user will be informed that the verified signature represents a
legally binding (``qualified'') signature. When creating a signature
using such a certificate an extra prompt will be issued to let the user
confirm that such a legally binding signature shall really be created.
Because this software has not yet been approved for use with such
certificates, appropriate notices will be shown to indicate this fact.
@item help.txt
@efindex help.txt
This is plain text file with a few help entries used with
@command{pinentry} as well as a large list of help items for
@command{gpg} and @command{gpgsm}. The standard file has English help
texts; to install localized versions use filenames like @file{help.LL.txt}
with LL denoting the locale. GnuPG comes with a set of predefined help
files in the data directory (e.g. @file{@value{DATADIR}/gnupg/help.de.txt})
and allows overriding of any help item by help files stored in the
system configuration directory (e.g. @file{@value{SYSCONFDIR}/help.de.txt}).
For a reference of the help file's syntax, please see the installed
@file{help.txt} file.
@item com-certs.pem
@efindex com-certs.pem
This file is a collection of common certificates used to populated a
newly created @file{pubring.kbx}. An administrator may replace this
file with a custom one. The format is a concatenation of PEM encoded
X.509 certificates. This global file is installed in the data directory
(e.g. @file{@value{DATADIR}/com-certs.pem}).
@end table
@c man:.RE
Note that on larger installations, it is useful to put predefined files
into the directory @file{/etc/skel/.gnupg/} so that newly created users
start up with a working configuration. For existing users a small
helper script is provided to create these files (@pxref{addgnupghome}).
For internal purposes @command{gpgsm} creates and maintains a few other files;
they all live in the current home directory (@pxref{option
--homedir}). Only @command{gpgsm} may modify these files.
@table @file
@item pubring.kbx
@efindex pubring.kbx
This a database file storing the certificates as well as meta
information. For debugging purposes the tool @command{kbxutil} may be
used to show the internal structure of this file. You should backup
this file.
@item random_seed
@efindex random_seed
This content of this file is used to maintain the internal state of the
random number generator across invocations. The same file is used by
other programs of this software too.
@item S.gpg-agent
@efindex S.gpg-agent
If this file exists
@command{gpgsm} will first try to connect to this socket for
accessing @command{gpg-agent} before starting a new @command{gpg-agent}
instance. Under Windows this socket (which in reality be a plain file
describing a regular TCP listening port) is the standard way of
connecting the @command{gpg-agent}.
