pinentry-gtk-2 - PIN or pass-phrase entry dialog for GnuPG

|
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<B>pinentry-gtk-2</B> is a program that allows for secure entry of PINs or
|
|
pass phrases. That means it tries to take care that the entered
|
|
information is not swapped to disk or temporarily stored anywhere.
|
|
This functionality is particularly useful for entering pass phrases
|
|
when using encryption software such as GnuPG or e-mail clients using
|
|
the same. It uses an open protocol and is therefore not tied to
|
|
particular software.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<B>pinentry-gtk-2</B> implements a PIN entry dialog
|
|
using the GTK+ tool kit version 2, so it is especially suitable for
|
|
users of GNOME. If the X Window System is not active then an alternative
|
|
text-mode dialog will be used. There are other flavors that
|
|
implement PIN entry dialogs using other tool kits.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<B>pinentry-gtk-2</B> is typically used internally by <B>gpg-agent</B>.
|
|
Users don't normally have a reason to call it directly.

|
<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
|
|
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="1"><B>--version</B><DD>
|
|
Print the program version and licensing information.
|
|
<DT id="2"><B>--help</B><DD>
|
|
Print a usage message summarizing the most useful command-line options.
|
|
<DT id="3"><B>--debug</B>, <B>-d</B><DD>
|
|
Turn on some debugging. Mostly useful for the maintainers. Note
|
|
that this may reveal sensitive information like the entered pass phrase.
|
|
<DT id="4"><B>--enhanced</B>, <B>-e</B><DD>
|
|
Ask for timeouts and insurance, too. Note that this is currently
|
|
not fully supported.
|
|
<DT id="5"><B>--no-global-grab</B>, <B>-g</B><DD>
|
|
Grab the keyboard only when the window is focused. Use this
|
|
option if you are debugging software using <B>pinentry-gtk-2</B>;
|
|
otherwise you may not be able to to access your X session anymore (unless
|
|
you have other means to connect to the machine to kill
|
|
<B>pinentry-gtk-2</B>).
|
|
<DT id="6"><B>--parent-wid</B> <I>N</I><DD>
|
|
Use window ID <I>N</I> as the parent window for positioning the window.
|
|
Note, that this is not fully supported by all flavors of <B>pinentry</B>.
|
|
<DT id="7"><B>--display</B> <I>STRING</I>, <B>--ttyname</B> <I>STRING</I>, <B>--ttytype</B> <I>STRING</I>, <B>--lc-type</B> <I>STRING</I>, <B>--lc-messages</B> <I>STRING</I><DD>
|
|
These options are used to pass localization information to
|
|
<B>pinentry-gtk-2</B>. They are required because
|
|
<B>pinentry-gtk-2</B> is usually called by
|
|
some background process which does not have any information on the
|
|
locale and terminal to use. Assuan protocol options are an
|
|
alternative way to pass these information.
