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

    108 .SH HISTORY
    109 The
    110 .BR mpgp 
    111 command was written by Ulf Moeller as a test suite for Mixmaster 
    112 2.9's internal OpenPGP support. It was enhanced and debugged primarily
    113 by Janis Jagars for use as a light-weight stand-alone OpenPGP application.
