🎀 man(1) — the Profanity XMPP client, bestie edition 🎀

okay so you opened man(1) from the Profanity XMPP client and landed on the /pgp page?? iconic. welcome. sit down. grab a strawberry. we're doing PGP today and honestly it's giving encrypted main character energy. 🔐✨

✨ NAME ✨

/pgp — the Profanity /pgp command. that's it. that's the name. short, sweet, slays. 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Open PGP commands, babes. this is where you manage your keys and do the actual PGP encryption while you're chatting. 🔥

heads up bestie: peep the /account command if you wanna set your own PGP key. /pgp handles the rest of the vibes. 🫶

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

/pgp libver

/pgp keys

/pgp contacts

/pgp setkey <contact> <keyid>

/pgp start [<contact>]

/pgp end

/pgp log on|off|redact

/pgp char <char>

/pgp sendfile on|off

/pgp sendpub [<contact>]

no cap, that's the whole menu. let's get into it. 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • libver — shows you which version of the libgpgme library is being used. like a little vibe check for your library. 🧚
  • keys — lists all keys known to the system. all of them. the whole roster. ⭐
  • contacts — shows contacts that have public keys assigned. your key-having besties, basically. 💜
  • setkey <contact> <keyid> — manually associates a contact with a public key. you're doing the matching yourself, matchmaker. 🎀
  • start [<contact>] — starts a PGP encrypted chat. if you don't specify a contact, the current contact gets used. default behavior, love that for us. 💖
  • end — ends the PGP encrypted chat with the current recipient. doors closed. goodbye. 😭
  • log on|off — enable or disable plaintext logging of your PGP encrypted messages. toggle away.
  • log redact — logs your PGP encrypted messages but swaps the contents out for [redacted]. this is the default, so if you did nothing, this is what you got. periodt.
  • char <char> — sets the character that gets displayed next to PGP encrypted messages. your little encrypted-message mascot. 🍓
  • sendfile on|off — lets /sendfile send unencrypted files while you're otherwise using PGP. yes, unencrypted. yes, be aware. 🙈
  • autoimport on|off — autoimports PGP keys from messages. they just show up. automated.
  • sendpub [<contact>] — sends a message to the current recipient with your PGP public key. no contact specified? current contact gets used. same deal as start. 🔥

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

here's the group chat receipts, copy-paste ready:

/pgp log off

/pgp setkey odin@valhalla.edda BA19CACE5A9592C5

/pgp start odin@valhalla.edda

/pgp end

/pgp char P

look at that. odin@valhalla.edda with key BA19CACE5A9592C5, encrypted chat started, ended, logging off, char set to P. ate. no crumbs. 👑
