       ppggppee encrypts and signs files using public key  cryptogra
       phy, or encrypts files using conventional cryptography.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       All  configuration options can be controlled from the com
       mand line.  See ppggpp..ccffgg(5) for a complete list and how  to
       specify them.

       -a, --armor
              Turn on "ASCII Armoring."  This outputs a text-only
              version of your encrypted  text.   This  makes  the
              result safe for mailing, but about 30% larger.

       -c     Conventional  encrypting  mode.   This uses IDEA to
              encrypt your  message.   As  IDEA  is  a  symmetric
              cipher, no public-key related arguments (--rr, --ss and
              --uu) are accepted with this argument.

       -f     Stream mode.  Accepts input  on  _s_t_d_i_n  and  places
              output  on  _s_t_d_o_u_t_.   If  no files are specified as
              arguments, pgp executes in this mode by default.

       -o outfile
              Specifies that output should go to _o_u_t_f_i_l_e.  If not
              specified,  output  goes  to  the default filename.
              The default filename for each  input  file  is  the
              input  filename  with ".pgp" appended, unless ASCII
              Armoring is turned on, in which case it is  ".asc".
              It is an error to specify multiple input files with
              this option.

       -s     Sign the document as well as encrypting it.  If you
              wish to sign only, use ppggppss(1).  This will use your
              default signing key, or the ID of the key specified
              with the --uu option.

       -t     Turns  on  text  mode.   This causes PGP to convert
              your input message to a platform-independent  form.
              It  is primarily for use when moving files from one
              operating system to another.

       -u     Sets the ID of the key used for signing.  This  may
              be  a user ID (such as ffoooo@@bbaarr..bbaazz..ccoomm) or a Key ID

              (such as 00xx1122334455667788).  Specifying this switch with
              out specifying --ss (sign) does nothing.

       -z     Batch  mode.   See ppggpp--iinntteeggrraattiioonn(7) for a discus
