12# Unless you specify which option file to use (with the command line
13# option "--options filename"), GnuPG uses the file ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
14# by default.
15#
16# An options file can contain any long options which are available in
17# GnuPG. If the first non white space character of a line is a '#',
18# this line is ignored. Empty lines are also ignored.
19#
20# See the man page for a list of options.
21
22# Uncomment the following option to get rid of the copyright notice
23
24#no-greeting
25
26# If you have more than 1 secret key in your keyring, you may want to
27# uncomment the following option and set your preferred keyid.
28
29#default-key 621CC013
30
31# If you do not pass a recipient to gpg, it will ask for one. Using
32# this option you can encrypt to a default key. Key validation will
33# not be done in this case. The second form uses the default key as
34# default recipient.
35
36#default-recipient some-user-id
37#default-recipient-self
38
39# Use --encrypt-to to add the specified key as a recipient to all
40# messages. This is useful, for example, when sending mail through a
41# mail client that does not automatically encrypt mail to your key.
42# In the example, this option allows you to read your local copy of
43# encrypted mail that you've sent to others.
44
45#encrypt-to some-key-id
46
47# By default GnuPG creates version 3 signatures for data files. This
48# is not strictly OpenPGP compliant but PGP 6 and most versions of PGP
49# 7 require them. To disable this behavior, you may use this option
50# or --openpgp.
51
52#no-force-v3-sigs
53
54# Because some mailers change lines starting with "From " to ">From "
55# it is good to handle such lines in a special way when creating
56# cleartext signatures; all other PGP versions do it this way too.
57# To enable full OpenPGP compliance you may want to use this option.
58
59#no-escape-from-lines
60
61# If you do not use the Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) charset, you should tell
62# GnuPG which is the native character set. Please check the man page
63# for supported character sets. This character set is only used for
64# metadata and not for the actual message which does not undergo any
65# translation. Note that future version of GnuPG will change to UTF-8
66# as default character set. In most cases this option is not required
67# GnuPG is able to figure out the correct charset and use that.
68
69#charset utf-8
70
71# Group names may be defined like this:
72# group mynames = paige 0x12345678 joe patti
73#
74# Any time "mynames" is a recipient (-r or --recipient), it will be
75# expanded to the names "paige", "joe", and "patti", and the key ID
76# "0x12345678". Note there is only one level of expansion - you
77# cannot make an group that points to another group. Note also that
78# if there are spaces in the recipient name, this will appear as two
79# recipients. In these cases it is better to use the key ID.
80
81#group mynames = paige 0x12345678 joe patti
82
83# Lock the file only once for the lifetime of a process. If you do
84# not define this, the lock will be obtained and released every time
85# it is needed, which is usually preferable.
86
87#lock-once
88
89# GnuPG can send and receive keys to and from a keyserver. These
90# servers can be HKP, email, or LDAP (if GnuPG is built with LDAP
91# support).
92#
93# Example HKP keyserver:
94# hkp://subkeys.pgp.net
95#
96# Example email keyserver:
97# mailto:pgp-public-keys@keys.pgp.net
98#
99# Example LDAP keyservers:
100# ldap://keyserver.pgp.com
101#
102# Regular URL syntax applies, and you can set an alternate port
103# through the usual method:
104# hkp://keyserver.example.net:22742
105#
106# If you have problems connecting to a HKP server through a buggy http
107# proxy, you can use keyserver option broken-http-proxy (see below),
108# but first you should make sure that you have read the man page
109# regarding proxies (keyserver option honor-http-proxy)
110#
111# Most users just set the name and type of their preferred keyserver.
112# Note that most servers (with the notable exception of
113# ldap://keyserver.pgp.com) synchronize changes with each other. Note
114# also that a single server name may actually point to multiple
115# servers via DNS round-robin. hkp://subkeys.pgp.net is an example of
116# such a "server", which spreads the load over a number of physical
117# servers.
118
119keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net
120#keyserver mailto:pgp-public-keys@keys.nl.pgp.net
121#keyserver ldap://keyserver.pgp.com
122
123# Common options for keyserver functions:
124#
125# include-disabled = when searching, include keys marked as "disabled"
126# on the keyserver (not all keyservers support this).
127#
128# no-include-revoked = when searching, do not include keys marked as
129# "revoked" on the keyserver.
130#
131# verbose = show more information as the keys are fetched.
132# Can be used more than once to increase the amount
133# of information shown.
134#
135# use-temp-files = use temporary files instead of a pipe to talk to the
136# keyserver. Some platforms (Win32 for one) always
137# have this on.
138#
139# keep-temp-files = do not delete temporary files after using them
140# (really only useful for debugging)
141#
142# honor-http-proxy = if the keyserver uses HTTP, honor the http_proxy
143# environment variable
144#
145# broken-http-proxy = try to work around a buggy HTTP proxy
146#
147# auto-key-retrieve = automatically fetch keys as needed from the keyserver
148# when verifying signatures or when importing keys that
149# have been revoked by a revocation key that is not
150# present on the keyring.
151#
152# no-include-attributes = do not include attribute IDs (aka "photo IDs")
153# when sending keys to the keyserver.
154
155#keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve
156
157# Display photo user IDs in key listings
158
159# list-options show-photos
160
161# Display photo user IDs when a signature from a key with a photo is
162# verified
163
164# verify-options show-photos
165
166# Use this program to display photo user IDs
167#
168# %i is expanded to a temporary file that contains the photo.
169# %I is the same as %i, but the file isn't deleted afterwards by GnuPG.
170# %k is expanded to the key ID of the key.
171# %K is expanded to the long OpenPGP key ID of the key.
172# %t is expanded to the extension of the image (e.g. "jpg").
173# %T is expanded to the MIME type of the image (e.g. "image/jpeg").
174# %f is expanded to the fingerprint of the key.
175# %% is %, of course.
176#
177# If %i or %I are not present, then the photo is supplied to the
178# viewer on standard input. If your platform supports it, standard
179# input is the best way to do this as it avoids the time and effort in
180# generating and then cleaning up a secure temp file.
181#
182# If no photo-viewer is provided, GnuPG will look for xloadimage, eog,
183# or display (ImageMagick). On Mac OS X and Windows, the default is
184# to use your regular JPEG image viewer.
185#
186# Some other viewers:
187# photo-viewer "qiv %i"
188# photo-viewer "ee %i"
189#
190# This one saves a copy of the photo ID in your home directory:
191# photo-viewer "cat > ~/photoid-for-key-%k.%t"
192#
193# Use your MIME handler to view photos:
194# photo-viewer "metamail -q -d -b -c %T -s 'KeyID 0x%k' -f GnuPG"
195
196# Passphrase agent
197#
198# We support the old experimental passphrase agent protocol as well as
199# the new Assuan based one (currently available in the "newpg" package
200# at ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/aegypten/). To make use of the agent,
201# you have to run an agent as daemon and use the option
202#
203# use-agent
204#
205# which tries to use the agent but will fallback to the regular mode
206# if there is a problem connecting to the agent. The normal way to
207# locate the agent is by looking at the environment variable
208# GPG_AGENT_INFO which should have been set during gpg-agent startup.
209# In certain situations the use of this variable is not possible, thus
210# the option
211#
212# --gpg-agent-info=<path>:<pid>:1
213#
214# may be used to override it.
215
216# Automatic key location
217#
218# GnuPG can automatically locate and retrieve keys as needed using the
219# auto-key-locate option. This happens when encrypting to an email
220# address (in the "user@example.com" form), and there are no
221# user@example.com keys on the local keyring. This option takes the
222# following arguments, in the order they are to be tried:
223#
224# cert = locate a key using DNS CERT, as specified in 2538bis
225# (currently in draft): http://www.josefsson.org/rfc2538bis/
226#
227# pka = locate a key using DNS PKA.
228#
229# ldap = locate a key using the PGP Universal method of checking
230# "ldap://keys.(thedomain)".
231#
232# keyserver = locate a key using whatever keyserver is defined using
233# the keyserver option.
234#
235# You may also list arbitrary keyservers here by URL.
236#
237# Try CERT, then PKA, then LDAP, then hkp://subkeys.net:
238#auto-key-locate cert pka ldap hkp://subkeys.pgp.net
