pgpewrap(1)

✨ pgpewrap — bestie edition ✨

okay so this is pgpewrap(1), a User Manuals page, and honestly? she's tiny but she's mighty 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

pgpewrap — the Mutt command line munging tool 🎀

🦋 SYNTAX 🦋

pgpewrap [ flags ] -- prefix [ recipients ]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so picture this: it's a little C program 🧚 and all it does is a lil bit of command line munging. that's the whole job. that's her whole thing.

the first argument is a command that's gonna get executed. periodt.

and then — here's the main character moment 👑 — when pgpewrap runs into a -- (that's dash-dash, bestie) argument, it treats the next argument as a prefix, and that prefix gets put in front of all the following arguments. every single one. no cap.

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

pgpewrap pgpe file -- -r a b c

will execute:

pgpe file -r a -r b -r c

like… look at her go 😭 she literally took that -r prefix and sprinkled it in front of a, b, and c. iconic behaviour, fr fr.

and why do we even need this script? because of PGP 5 and GPG, bestie — their command line interfaces can't be properly served by mutt's format mechanism. so pgpewrap steps in and handles it. ate. 💅

ngl this is a whole lot of power in a very small program, so keep your eyes on those arguments 🫶

and that's the whole page!! from the Unix manual set, dated May 2013, this was pgpewrap(1) — mwah, take care of her 💜✨
