PROGRAM:

NAME


pinentry-curses - PIN or pass-phrase entry dialog for GnuPG

SYNOPSIS


pinentry-curses [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION


pinentry-curses is a program that allows for secure entry of PINs or pass phrases. That
means it tries to take care that the entered information is not swapped to disk or
temporarily stored anywhere. This functionality is particularly useful for entering pass
phrases when using encryption software such as GnuPG or e-mail clients using the same. It
uses an open protocol and is therefore not tied to particular software.

pinentry-curses implements a PIN entry dialog using the curses tool kit, meaning that it
is useful for users working in text mode without the X Window System. There are other
flavors that implement PIN entry dialogs that use an X tool kit. If you have installed
any of the latter programs then this program is not necessary because the X flavors
automatically fall back to text mode if X is not active.

pinentry-curses is typically used internally by gpg-agent. Users don't normally have a
reason to call it directly.

OPTIONS


--version
Print the program version and licensing information.

--help Print a usage message summarizing the most useful command-line options.

--debug, -d
Turn on some debugging. Mostly useful for the maintainers. Note that this may
reveal sensitive information like the entered pass phrase.

--enhanced, -e
Ask for timeouts and insurance, too. Note that this is currently not fully
supported.

--no-global-grab, -g
Grab the keyboard only when the window is focused. Use this option if you are
debugging software using pinentry-curses; otherwise you may not be able to to
access your X session anymore (unless you have other means to connect to the
machine to kill pinentry-curses).

--parent-wid N
Use window ID N as the parent window for positioning the window. Note, that this
is not fully supported by all flavors of pinentry.

--display STRING, --ttyname STRING, --ttytype STRING, --lc-type STRING, --lc-messages
STRING
These options are used to pass localization information to pinentry-curses. They
are required because pinentry-curses is usually called by some background process
which does not have any information on the locale and terminal to use. Assuan
protocol options are an alternative way to pass these information.
