NAME
gpg-zip - Encrypt or sign files into an archive SYNOPSIS
gpg-zip [options] filename1 [ filename2, ... ] directory1 [ directory2, ... ] DESCRIPTION
gpg-zip encrypts or signs files into an archive. It is an gpg-ized tar using the same format as used by PGP's PGP Zip. OPTIONS
gpg-zip understands these options: --encrypt -e Encrypt data. This option may be combined with --symmetric (for output that may be decrypted via a secret key or a passphrase). --decrypt -d Decrypt data. --symmetric -c Encrypt with a symmetric cipher using a passphrase. The default symmetric cipher used is CAST5, but may be chosen with the --cipher-algo option to gpg. --sign -s Make a signature. See gpg. --recipient user -r user Encrypt for user id user. See gpg. --local-user user -u user Use user as the key to sign with. See gpg. --list-archive List the contents of the specified archive. --output file -o file Write output to specified file file. --gpg gpgcmd Use the specified command gpgcmd instead of gpg. --gpg-args args Pass the specified options to gpg. --tar tarcmd Use the specified command tarcmd instead of tar. --tar-args args Pass the specified options to tar. --version Print version of the program and exit. --help Display a brief help page and exit. EXAMPLES
Encrypt the contents of directory 'mydocs' for user Bob to file 'test1': gpg-zip --encrypt --output test1 --gpg-args -r Bob mydocs List the contents of archive 'test1': gpg-zip --list-archive test1 DIAGNOSTICS
The program returns 0 if everything was fine, 1 otherwise. SEE ALSO
gpg(1), tar(1), The full documentation for this tool is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If GnuPG and the info program are properly installed at your site, the command info gnupg should give you access to the complete manual including a menu structure and an index.

NAME
symcryptrun - Call a simple symmetric encryption tool SYNOPSIS
symcryptrun --class class --program program --keyfile keyfile [--decrypt|--encrypt] [inputfile] DESCRIPTION
Sometimes simple encryption tools are already in use for a long time and there might be a desire to integrate them into the GnuPG frame- work. The protocols and encryption methods might be non-standard or not even properly documented, so that a full-fledged encryption tool with an interface like gpg is not doable. symcryptrun provides a solution: It operates by calling the external encryption/decryption mod- ule and provides a passphrase for a key using the standard pinentry based mechanism through gpg-agent. Note, that symcryptrun is only available if GnuPG has been configured with '--enable-symcryptrun' at build time. For encryption, the plain text must be provided on STDIN or as the argument inputfile, and the ciphertext will be output to STDOUT. For decryption vice versa. CLASS describes the calling conventions of the external tool. Currently it must be given as 'confucius'. PROGRAM is the full filename of that external tool. For the class 'confucius' the option --keyfile is required; keyfile is the name of a file containing the secret key, which may be protected by a passphrase. For detailed calling conventions, see the source code. Note, that gpg-agent must be running before starting symcryptrun. The following additional options may be used: -v --verbose Output additional information while running. -q --quiet Try to be as quiet as possible. --homedir dir Set the name of the home directory to dir. If this option is not used, the home directory defaults to '~/.gnupg'. It is only recog- nized when given on the command line. It also overrides any home directory stated through the environment variable 'GNUPGHOME' or (on W32 systems) by means of the Registry entry HKCUSoftwareGNUGnuPG:HomeDir. --log-file file Append all logging output to file. Default is to write logging information to STDERR. The possible exit status codes of symcryptrun are: 0 Success. 1 Some error occured. 2 No valid passphrase was provided. 3 The operation was canceled by the user. SEE ALSO
