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.
