Synopsis
--------
'pacman-key' [options] <command> [arguments]
'pacman-key' [options]
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.
'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).
Options
-------
*-a, \--add* [file(s)]::
Add the key(s) contained in the specified file or files to pacman's
keyring. If a key already exists, update it.
*\--config* <file>::
Use an alternate config file instead of the +{sysconfdir}/pacman.conf+
default.
*-d, \--delete* <keyid(s)>::
Remove the key(s) identified by the specified keyid(s) from pacman's
keyring.
*-e, \--export* [keyid(s)]::
Export key(s) identified by the specified keyid(s) to 'stdout'. If no keyid
is specified, all keys will be exported.
*\--edit-key * <keyid(s)>::
Present a menu for key management task on the specified keyids. Useful for
adjusting a keys trust level.
*-f, \--finger* [keyid(s)]::
List a fingerprint for each specified keyid, or for all known keys if no
keyids are specified.
*\--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.
*-f, \--finger* [keyid ...]::
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 ...::
*-r, \--receive* <keyserver> <keyid(s)>::
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.
*-u, \--updatedb*::
Equivalent to \--check-trustdb in GnuPG.
