Encrypt with a symmetric cipher using a passphrase. The default symmetric cipher used is CAST5, but may be chosen with the --cipher-algo option to gpg.

--sign
-s
Make a signature. See gpg.

--recipient user
-r user
Encrypt for user id user. See gpg.

--local-user user
-u user
Use user as the key to sign with. See gpg.

--list-archive
List the contents of the specified archive.
