🎀 PINENTRY-WAYPROMPT(1) 🎀

okay so bestie, this is the General Commands Manual page for pinentry-wayprompt, and it's giving Wayland-native pinentry implementation energy. no cap, we're about to make pinentry make sense. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

pinentry-wayprompt — Wayland-native pinentry implementation. periodt. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pinentry-wayprompt

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The pinentry-wayprompt executable described in this manual page is the pinentry implementation based on wayprompt. For general info on wayprompt, read wayprompt(1) — it's the main character of that other page. 🫶

💖 USE WITH GPG 💖

To use pinentry-wayprompt as the password prompt for gpg(1), you need to configure gpg-agent(1). For example, create the file ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf and write this line into it:

pinentry-program /path/to/pinentry-wayprompt

Note that the path to the pinentry-wayprompt executable depends on how you installed it and/or how it was packaged. Also note: you need to restart the gpg-agent for any configuration to take effect. no skipping that step, bestie. 🔥

🎀 IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETENESS 🎀

As of writing, pinentry-wayprompt implements the most important components of the pinentry protocol so it's viable for day-to-day usage. However, more advanced features are not yet supported. Patches are welcome — yes, that means you, genius. 💜

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

pinentry-wayprompt will exit with one of the following commands — read: exit values, bestie:

  • 0 — Successfull operation (for "ok", "not-ok" and "cancel").
  • 1 — An error occured.
The spelling is exactly like that on the page, and we respect the icon behavior. 😭
