💖 GPGPARTICIPANTS-FILTER — the glow-up your keyring needed 💖

okay bestie, so this is a little command from the General Commands Manual (section 1, we love a classic), and honestly? it's giving backstage-pass energy for gpgparticipants. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gpgparticipants-filter — it filters a list of key ids so you can feed them into gpgparticipants. that's the whole job. she's focused, she's serving, she's not doing extra. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gpgparticipants-filter [-h] [-o FILE] [-b GPG_BIN] [-d GPG_HOME] [-a]
[--version] FILTER [FILTER ...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe. this tool filters a list of key ids straight out of your gpg keyring, and it does that as input to gpgparticipants. ✨

she sorts the list alphabetically by the first uid of each key. not by key id, not by vibes — by first uid. periodt.

per default she skips over revoked and expired keys, because we don't bring that energy to the party. 🚫

and then? the output can be piped straight into gpgparticipants, or stored in a file if you're a file person. either way, iconic. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

🎀 positional arguments:

  • FILTER — this is your input query, and it gets passed straight to gpg. you can pass more than one (FILTER [FILTER ...]), go off.

⭐ optional arguments:

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and exits. the "wait what does this do again" button. 🙈
  • -o FILE, --output FILE — tells her which file the output should be written to. per default she writes to stdout, so no file, no problem. 💖
  • -b GPG_BIN, --gpg-binary GPG_BIN — custom path to gpg, for when your gpg is not where everyone else's gpg lives. default: "gpg". ✨
  • -d GPG_HOME, --homedir GPG_HOME — custom homedir for gpg. check out --homedir of gpg if you want the lore. 🏠
  • -a, --all-keys — shows also revoked and expired keys. yep, she said also. if you want the messy ones, you can have the messy ones. 💀
  • --version — outputs version information and exits. quick lil flex, then she's gone. 👋
