<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<B>gpgcompose</B>
generates a stream of OpenPGP packets, including some which can
include other nested packets within a layer of encryption. The syntax
on the command line isn't stable enough to document currently, but
additional hints and examples can be found from the command line using
<B>--help</B>.
<P>
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>EXTERNAL DEPENDENCIES</H2>
<P>
<B>gpgcompose</B>
is not capable of performing secret key operations on its own.
Creation of any OpenPGP object that requires secret key operations
(e.g.,
<B>--signature</B>)
will need to speak to an already-running
<B>gpg-agent</B>.
<P>
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>FILES</H2>
<P>
Occasionally,
<B>gpgcompose</B>
will need to look up existing public keys for reference (e.g.,
<B>--public-key</B>).
It will do so in
<B>~/.gnupg/keyring.kbx,</B>
or in
<B>$GNUPGHOME/keyring.kbx</B>
if that variable is set.
