GPG-KEY2PS(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation GPG-KEY2PS(1)

NAME

gpg-key2ps - generates a PS file from a GnuPG keyring

SYNOPSIS

gpg-key2ps [-r revoked-style] [-p papersize] [-1] [-s] keyid-or-name [ ... ]

DESCRIPTION

gpg-key2ps generates a PostScript file with your OpenPGP key fingerprint (repeated as often as it fits) useful for keysigning parties. The only argument is the same as you would pass to GPG's list-keys command, either a key-id or a (partial) name. The PS data is written to stdout.

OPTIONS

Select the output paper size. Default is to look into /etc/papersize or A4 if libpaper isn't installed.
Enable subkey information to be printed on the slips. Subkey information is normally not relevant to the key signing process.
Select how to mark revoked UIDs and subkeys. Five styles are available:
hide don't show at all (default),
show show normally,
grey display in 50% grey,
note add "[revoked]", and
strike strike through.
-1
Print only one column of paper slips instead of the default two. Useful for keys with long UIDs that otherwise won't fit.
Keyids to print. Multiple can be separated by spaces.
Print usage and exit.
Print version and exit.

ENVIRONMENT

The default home directory.
The gpg binary. Default: "gpg".
The default working directory for gpg. Default: "$HOME/.gnupg".

gpg-key2ps prints plain fingerprint slips. If you are looking for something more stylish, look at these latex templates for business cards that also include fingerprints.
