PROGRAM:

NAME


pinentry-gtk-2 - PIN or pass-phrase entry dialog for GnuPG

SYNOPSIS


pinentry-gtk-2 [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION


pinentry-gtk-2 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-gtk-2 implements a PIN entry dialog using the GTK+ tool kit version 2, so it is
especially suitable for users of GNOME. If the X Window System is not active then an
alternative text-mode dialog will be used. There are other flavors that implement PIN
entry dialogs using other tool kits.

pinentry-gtk-2 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-gtk-2; 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-gtk-2).

--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-gtk-2. They
are required because pinentry-gtk-2 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.
