NAME¶
keyart - Create ASCII art of an OpenPGP key.
SYNOPSIS¶
keyart [-c|--color] [-l|--longid] [-f|--fingerprint
HEX
[-f|--fingerprint
HEX ...]] [-k|--keyring
KEYRING [-k|--keyring
KEYRING ...]] [
KEYID ...]
DESCRIPTION¶
keyart creates an ASCII art representation of public OpenPGP keys. The
art is an implementation of the Drunken Bishop by Dirk Loss. Documentation
about the algorithm can be found in /usr/share/doc/signing-party/keyart/, or
as appropriate for your distribution.
keyart supports printing the ASCII art in both plain text (default) and
ANSI color. ANSI color uses a "heat map", where cold (blue)
represents squares in the room the drunk bishop has rarely visited, and hot
(red) represents squares in the room the drunk bishop has frequently visited.
There is a 1:1 ratio of color to printed character.
The
KEYIDs are key identifiers (fingerprint, keyid, user ID, etc. see
gpg(1) for details). If no
KEYID is given,
keyart creates
an ASCII art representation for all keys found.
OPTIONS¶
- -c | --color
- Print the ASCII art using ANSI color to the terminal.
- -l | --longid
- Print the 16-character long ID of a on OpenPGP key in the footer badge.
Default is to print the 8-character short ID. Silently ignored if "
-f | --fingerprint HEX" is passed.
- -f | --fingerprint HEX
- Any arbitrary hexadecimal string of any length. Could be an MD5, SHA1,
SHA2, or SHA3 hexadecimal checksum. Useful for comparing and analyzing
potential collisions with existing keys. This option can be repeated
multiple times.
- -k | --keyring KEYRING
- An OpenPGP public key file or keyring, from which the KEYIDs are to
be found. If this option is not present, the KEYIDs are found from
GnuPG's default keyring (usually ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg); if it is repeated
multiple times, the provided KEYRINGs are used as successive
sources.
- -h | --help
- Print the help message and quit.
EXIT STATUS¶
- 0
- keyart was executed successfully.
- 1
- gpg(1) or gpg2(1) are not installed.
- 2
- The supplied hexadecimal string is not a multiple of 8 bytes.
