.TH DSCVERIFY 1 "Debian Utilities" "DEBIAN" \" -*- nroff -*-
.SH NAME
dscverify \- verify the validity of a Debian package
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBdscverify\fR [\fB\-\-keyring \fIkeyring\fR] ... \fIchanges_or_dsc_filename\fR ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBdscverify\fR checks that the GPG or PGP signatures on the given
\fI.changes\fR or \fI.dsc\fR files are good signatures made by keys in
the current Debian keyrings, found in the \fIdebian-keyring\fR
and \fIdebian-maintainers\fR
packages.  (Additional keyrings can be specified using the
\fB--keyring\fR option any number of times.)  It then checks that the
other files listed in the \fI.changes\fR or \fI.dsc\fR files have the
correct sizes and checksums (MD5 plus SHA1 and SHA256 if the latter are
present).  The exit status is 0 if there are no problems and non-zero
otherwise.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BI \-\-keyring " " \fIkeyring\fR
Add \fIkeyring\fR to the list of keyrings to be used.

first option given on the command-line.
.TP
\fB\-\-nosigcheck\fR, \fB\-\-no\-sig\-check\fR
Skip the signature verification step. That is, only verify the sizes and 
checksums of the files listed in the \fI.changes\fR or \fI.dsc\fR files.
.TP
.BR \-\-help ", " \-h
Display a help message and exit successfully.
.TP
.B \-\-version
Display version and copyright information and exit successfully.
.SH "CONFIGURATION VARIABLES"
The two configuration files \fI/etc/devscripts.conf\fR and
\fI~/.devscripts\fR are sourced by a shell in that order to set
configuration variables.  Environment variable settings are ignored
for this purpose.  If the first command line option given is
\fB\-\-noconf\fR or \fB\-\-no-conf\fR, then these files will not be
read.  The currently recognised variable is:
.TP
.B DSCVERIFY_KEYRINGS
This is a colon-separated list of extra keyrings to use in addition to
any specified on the command line.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR gpg (1)
and
.BR devscripts.conf (5).
