19 .SH DESCRIPTION
20 Mixmaster is an anonymous remailer. mpgp is a light-weight OpenPGP
21 implementation, primarily used to diagnose issues with OpenPGP keys and
22 messages handled by the Mixmaster remailer software.
23 .PP
24 mpgp can encrypt, decrypt and sign a message using the Mixmaster
25 OpenPGP library. The message is read from the standard input or the
26 specified \fIfilename\fR. The output will be written to the standard
27 output. When called without arguments mpgp decrypts from the standard
28 input. It asks for a passphrase when needed.
29 .SH OPTIONS
30 .TP
31 .B "\-h"
32 Print a summary of command line options.
33 .TP
34 .B "\-e"
35 Encrypt a message with the first OpenPGP key from the public key ring
36 whose contains \fIkeyname\fR as a substring.
37 .TP
38 .B "\-s"
39 Make a signature of the message with the first OpenPGP key from the secret
40 key ring, or the first key whose contains \fIkeyname\fR as a substring if
41 specified.
42 .TP
43 .B "\-c"
44 Encrypt with symmetric cipher only.
45 .TP
46 .B "\-C"
47 Encrypt with symmetric cipher only using the new OpenPGP format.
48 .TP
49 .B "\-d"
50 Decrypt a message using \fIpassphrase\fR if specified or asking for it if
51 needed. It also verifies its signature.
52 .TP
53 .B "\-g\fR[\fBr\fR]"
54 Generate new OpenPGP key pair with the given \fIkeyname\fR as user ID. If
55 \fBr\fR is specified the OpenPGP key will be created using the RSA
56 algorithm, otherwise the ElGamal algorithm will be used. \fIbits\fR is the
57 key length and its default value is 1024.
58 .TP
59 .B "\-a\fR[\fB+\-\fR]"
60 Create an ASCII OpenPGP armored message. If \fB\-\fR is specified mpgp
61 will remove ASCII armor.
62 .TP
63 .B "\-b"
64 Specifies that the message is in binary format.
65 .SH CONFIGURATION
66 The Mixmaster OpenPGP module reads its configuration from the file
67 .B mix.cfg
68 in its working directory. The configuration file consists of lines of
69 the type
70 .PP
71 .I VARIABLE values
72 .PP
73 and of comments, which begin with a
74 .B #
75 character.
76 .PP
77 .TP
78 .B PGPPUBRING
79 Path to your public OpenPGP key ring. Default:
80 .BR ~/.pgp/pubring.pgp .
81 (Windows default: PGP registry value.)
82 .TP
83 .B PGPSECRING
84 Path to your secret OpenPGP key ring. Default:
85 .BR ~/.pgp/secring.pgp .
86 (Windows default: PGP registry value.)
87 .SH FILES
88 These filenames can be overridden by setting the corresponding configuration
89 option (given in parentheses).
90 .TP
91 .B mix.cfg
92 Mixmaster configuration file.
93 .TP
94 .B pubring.pgp
95 OpenPGP public keys (\fBPGPPUBRING\fP).
96 .TP
97 .B secring.pgp
98 OpenPGP secret keys (\fBPGPSECRING\fP).
99 .SH SEE ALSO
