-pacman-key - manage pacman's list of trusted keys
-
-
-Synopsis
---------
-'pacman-key' [options] operation [targets]
-
-
-Description
------------
-'pacman-key' is a wrapper script for GnuPG used to manage pacman's keyring, which
-is the collection of PGP keys used to check signed packages and databases. It
-provides the ability to import and export keys, fetch keys from keyservers and
-update the key trust database.
-
-More complex keyring management can be achieved using GnuPG directly combined with
-the '\--homedir' option pointing at the pacman keyring (located in
-+{sysconfdir}/pacman.d/gnupg+ by default).
-
-Invoking pacman-key consists of supplying an operation with any potential
-options and targets to operate on. Depending on the operation, a 'target' may
-be a valid key identifier, filename, or directory.
-
-
-Operations
-----------
-*-a, \--add*::
- Add the key(s) contained in the specified file or files to pacman's
- keyring. If a key already exists, update it.
-
-*-d, \--delete*::
- Remove the key(s) identified by the specified keyid(s) from pacman's
- keyring.
-
-*-e, \--export*::
- Export key(s) identified by the specified keyid(s) to 'stdout'. If no keyid
- is specified, all keys will be exported.
-
-*\--edit-key*::
- Present a menu for key management task on the specified keyid(s). Useful
- for adjusting a keys trust level.
-
-*-f, \--finger*::
- List a fingerprint for each specified keyid, or for all known keys if no
- keyids are specified.
-
-*-h, \--help*::
- Output syntax and command line options.
-
-*\--import*::
- Imports keys from `pubring.gpg` into the public keyring from the specified
- directories.
-
-*\--import-trustdb*::
- Imports ownertrust values from `trustdb.gpg` into the shared trust database
- from the specified directories.
-
-*\--init*::
- Ensure the keyring is properly initialized and has the required access
- permissions.
-
-*-l, \--list-keys*::
- Lists all or specified keys from the public keyring.
-
-*\--list-sigs*::
- Same as '\--list-keys', but the signatures are listed too.
-
-*\--lsign-key*::
- Locally sign the given key. This is primarily used to root the web of trust
- in the local private key generated by '\--init'.
-
-*\--nocolor*::
- Disable colored output from pacman-key.
-
-*-r, \--recv-keys*::
- Equivalent to '\--recv-keys' in GnuPG.
-
-*\--refresh-keys*::
- Equivalent to '\--refresh-keys' in GnuPG.
-
-*\--populate*::
- Reload the default keys from the (optionally provided) keyrings in
- +{pkgdatadir}/keyrings+. For more information, see
- <<PK,Providing a Keyring for Import>> below.
-
-*-u, \--updatedb*::
- Equivalent to '\--check-trustdb' in GnuPG. This operation can be specified with
- other operations.
-
-*-V, \--version*::
- Displays the program version.
-
-*-v, \--verify*::
- Verify the file(s) specified by the signature(s).
-
-
-Options
--------
-*\--config* <file>::
- Use an alternate configuration file instead of the +{sysconfdir}/pacman.conf+
- default.
-
-*\--gpgdir* <dir>::
- Set an alternate home directory for GnuPG. If unspecified, the value is
- read from +{sysconfdir}/pacman.conf+.
-
-*\--keyserver* <keyserver>::
- Use the specified keyserver if the operation requires one. This will take
- precedence over any keyserver option specified in a `gpg.conf`
- configuration file. Running '\--init' with this option will set the default
- keyserver if one was not already configured.
-
-
-Providing a Keyring for Import[[PK]]
-------------------------------------
-A distribution or other repository provided may want to provide a set of
-PGP keys used in the signing of its packages and repository databases that can
-be readily imported into the pacman keyring. This is achieved by providing a
-PGP keyring file `foo.gpg` that contains the keys for the foo keyring in the
-directory +{pkgdatadir}/keyrings+.
-
-Optionally, the file `foo-trusted` can be provided containing a list of trusted
-key IDs for that keyring. This is a file in a format compatible with 'gpg
-\--export-ownertrust' output. This file will inform the user which keys a user
-needs to verify and sign to build a local web of trust, in addition to
-assigning provided owner trust values.
-
-Also optionally, the file `foo-revoked` can be provided containing a list of
-revoked key IDs for that keyring. Revoked is defined as "no longer valid for
-any signing", so should be used with prudence. A key being marked as revoked
-will be disabled in the keyring and no longer treated as valid, so this always
-takes priority over it's trusted state in any other keyring.
