NAME¶
apt-key - APT key management utilitySYNOPSIS¶
apt-key
[ --keyring filename] {add filename |
del keyid | export keyid | exportall | list | finger
| adv | update | net-update | {-v | --version} |
{-h | --help}}
DESCRIPTION¶
COMMANDS¶
add filenameAdd a new key to the list of trusted keys. The
key is read from the filename given with the parameter filename or if
the filename is - from standard input.
del keyid
Remove a key from the list of trusted
keys.
export keyid
Output the key keyid to standard
output.
exportall
Output all trusted keys to standard
output.
list
List trusted keys.
finger
List fingerprints of trusted keys.
adv
Pass advanced options to gpg. With adv
--recv-key you can download the public key.
update
Update the local keyring with the archive
keyring and remove from the local keyring the archive keys which are no longer
valid. The archive keyring is shipped in the archive-keyring package of your
distribution, e.g. the debian-archive-keyring package in Debian.
net-update
Perform an update working similarly to the
update command above, but get the archive keyring from a URI instead
and validate it against a master key. This requires an installed
wget(1) and an APT build configured to have a server to fetch from and
a master keyring to validate. APT in Debian does not support this command,
relying on update instead, but Ubuntu's APT does.
OPTIONS¶
Note that options need to be defined before the commands described in the previous section. --keyring filenameWith this option it is possible to specify a
particular keyring file the command should operate on. The default is that a
command is executed on the trusted.gpg file as well as on all parts in the
trusted.gpg.d directory, though trusted.gpg is the primary keyring which means
that e.g. new keys are added to this one.
FILES¶

be added here. Configuration Item: Dir::Etc::Trusted.
