gnupg: Agent Commands

 
 2.1 Commands
 ============
 
 Commands are not distinguished from options except for the fact that
 only one command is allowed.
 
 '--version'
      Print the program version and licensing information.  Note that you
      cannot abbreviate this command.
 
 '--help'
 '-h'
      Print a usage message summarizing the most useful command-line
      options.  Note that you cannot abbreviate this command.
 
 '--dump-options'
      Print a list of all available options and commands.  Note that you
      cannot abbreviate this command.
 
 '--server'
      Run in server mode and wait for commands on the 'stdin'.  The
      default mode is to create a socket and listen for commands there.
 
 '--daemon [COMMAND LINE]'
      Start the gpg-agent as a daemon; that is, detach it from the
      console and run it in the background.
 
      As an alternative you may create a new process as a child of
      gpg-agent: 'gpg-agent --daemon /bin/sh'.  This way you get a new
      shell with the environment setup properly; after you exit from this
      shell, gpg-agent terminates within a few seconds.
 
 '--supervised'
      Run in the foreground, sending logs by default to stderr, and
      listening on provided file descriptors, which must already be bound
      to listening sockets.  This command is useful when running under
      systemd or other similar process supervision schemes.  This option
      is not supported on Windows.
 
      In -supervised mode, different file descriptors can be provided for
      use as different socket types (e.g.  ssh, extra) as long as they
      are identified in the environment variable 'LISTEN_FDNAMES' (see
      sd_listen_fds(3) on some Linux distributions for more information
      on this convention).
