.TH GPGV-STATIC "1" "November 2016" "GnuPG" "Gnu Privacy Guard 2.1" .SH NAME gpgv-static - Verify OpenPGP signatures (static build) .SH SYNOPSIS .B gpgv-static [\fIoptions\fP] \fIsigned_files\fP .SH DESCRIPTION \fBgpgv\fR is an OpenPGP signature verification tool. \fBgpgv-static\fR is \fBgpgv\fR built statically so that it can be directly used on any platform that is running on the Linux kernel, such as Android, ChromeOS, or many embedded Linux systems. This version of \fBgpgv\fR in combination with \fBdebootstrap\fR and the Debian archive keyring allows the secure creation of chroot installs on these platforms by using the full Debian signature verification that is present in all official Debian mirrors. You may wish to re-name the binary to plain \fBgpgv\fR when transferring it into such a platform to create a chroot. Please read the documentation for \fBgpgv\fR for more details. .SH SEE ALSO \fBgpg\fR(1) .SH AUTHOR This manual page was written by Daniel Kahn Gillmor for the Debian project, but may be used by others under the same license as GnuPG itself.
