Name
----
pacman-key - manage pacman's list of trusted keys


Synopsis
--------
'pacman-key' [options] <command> [arguments]


Description
-----------
'pacman-key' is a script used to manage pacman's keyring, which is the collection
of GnuPG keys used to check signed packages. It provides the ability to import
and export keys, fetch keys from keyservers and update the key trust database.


Options
-------
*\--config* <file>::
	Use an alternate config 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+.


Commands
-------
*-a, \--add* file ...::
	Add the key(s) contained in the specified file or files to pacman's
	keyring. If a key already exists, update it.

*\--adv* param ...::
	Use this option to issue particular GnuPG actions to pacman's keyring. This
	option should be used with care as it can modify pacman's trust in
	packages' signatures.

*-d, \--del* keyid ...::
	Remove the key(s) identified by the specified keyid or keyids from pacman's
	keyring.

*-e, \--export* [keyid ...]::
	Export key(s) identified by the specified keyid to 'stdout'. If no keyid is
	specified, all keys will be exported.

	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.

*-l, \--list*::
	Equivalent to --list-sigs from GnuPG.

*-r, \--receive* keyserver keyid ...::
	Fetch the specified keyids from the specified key server URL.

*\--reload*::
	Reloads the keys from the keyring package.

*-t, \--trust* keyid::
	Set the trust level of the given key.
