GETKEY(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual GETKEY(1)

getkey
fetch one or more keys from an OpenPGP keyserver

getkey keyid...

The getkey utility invokes GnuPG to fetch one or more keys from an OpenPGP keyserver.

The getkey utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

If the KEYSERVERS variable is set in the environment, getkey will use it to determine which keyservers to fetch the keys from, instead of using pool.sks-keyservers.net.

If the standard HTTP_PROXY variable is set, and NOKEYPROXY is not, then getkey will pass a --http-proxy parameter to gpg(1).

The getkey utility's operation is currently not directly affected by any files.

Fetch some keys from a keyserver:

getkey 2527DF13 16194553

Explicity specify the keyserver to use:

env KEYSERVERS=subkeys.pgp.net getkey 2527DF13

gpg(1)

The getkey utility was written by Peter Pentchev in 2000.
