.TH TKPGP 1 "December 1999" "TkPGP" "Graphical shell for PGP, GnuPG"
.SH NAME
TkPGP \- A Tcl/Tk graphical shell for PGP, GnuPG
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B tkpgp
[FILE]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B TkPGP
is a graphical front-end for encryption programs PGP and GnuPG.
Optional parameter
.B FILE
can be specified if user wants to load this file automatically on
startup, process it within TkPGP and save changes back into that file.
.SH RETURN VALUE
Nothing meaningful is returned.
.SH FILES
.TP
\&.tkpgp
The
.B TkPGP
initialization file. It contains all user-defined settings and some
hardcoded, non-changeable settings. This file is created when
.B TkPGP
is executed the very fist time; the file will be initialized with
default settings. User can alter settings using the "Settings" button.
The "Close" button saves settings back to the .tkpgp file. If
.B TkPGP
is terminated by closing the GUI window (via Window Manager, for example)
the settings will be unchanged.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
TkPGP does not require special environment variables. Just make sure
that your
.B PATH
includes directory where tkpgp executable is installed; otherwise
you will need to specify path to the executable. If the variable
.B PATH
does not include locations of PGP or GPG then you may need to change
settings for those programs using TkPGP "Settings" button. It is not
necessary to have PGP or GPG in your
.B PATH
but it is a good idea because you may need to invoke GnuPG or PGP
manually for such tasks as key management, which TkPGP does not support.
.SH SEE ALSO
.BR gpg (1),
.BR pgp (1)
.SH BUGS
TkPGP uses public keys to refer to secret keys. This is both inconvenient
(because there are too many public keys) and causes problems if user does not
have his own public key(s).
Key management (generation, passphrase change, trust settings) is notably
missing.
There is no way to transfer passphrase from TkPGP to GnuPG. The existing
interface (
.I status-fd
) requires setting up a pipe, and I do not know how to do that in pure Tcl
(without extensions).
