NAME

       gpa - graphical frontend for the GNU Privacy Guard


SYNOPSIS

       gpa [OPTION(S)] [FILE(S)]


DESCRIPTION

       The GNU Privacy Assistant (GPA) is a graphical user interface for the
       GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG).

       gpa can be used to encrypt, decrypt, and sign files, to verify
       signatures and to manage the private and public keys.


OPTIONS

       -c, --clipboard
              Open the clipboard.  This is the default action if no arguments
              are given and a key has already been created.

       -C, --card
              Start with the card-manager open.

       -d, --daemon
              Only start the UI server and no user interface.

       --no-remote
              Do not connect to a running instance but start a new one.  This
              can also be used to not start an UI server.

       --debug-edit-fsm
              Debug the Finite State Machine (FSM).

       --disable-ticker
              Disable ticker used for card operations.

       --disable-x509
              Disable support for X.509.

       --enable-logging
              Enable logging on Win32 systems.

       -f, --files
              Start with the file-manager open. This is the default if one or
              more FILE(S) are added to the command arguments.

       -k, --keyring
              Start with the keyring editor. This is the default for a new
              installation.

       -o, --options=FILE
              Read options from the specified file instead of
              ~/.gnupg/gpa.conf.

       -s, --settings
              Open the settings dialog.

       -v, --version
              Print version information and exit.
