       ppggppvv  Decrypts  and verifies files encrypted and/or signed
       by PGP.

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.

       -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  the  ".pgp" ".asc" or ".sig"
              removed.  It is an error to specify multiple  input
              files with this option.

       -m     More  mode.   Displays  message  output  with PGP's
              internal pager, or  the  PPaaggeerr  specified  in  your
              ppggpp..ccffgg(5) file.

       -z     Batch  mode.   See ppggpp--iinntteeggrraattiioonn(7) for a discus
              sion of integrating pgp support into your  applica
              tion.

              Decrypts and/or verifies the file _d_o_c_u_m_e_n_t_._t_x_t_._a_s_c.
              The resultant file will be _d_o_c_u_m_e_n_t_._t_x_t.

              releases,  this  file  was  called _c_o_n_f_i_g_._t_x_t.  See
