SEAHORSE(1)

๐Ÿšโœจ SEAHORSE(1) โ€” the seahorse manual, but make it a group chat โœจ๐Ÿš

okay bestie, so this is the man page for seahorse โ€” it's from the User Commands section of the manual, and it's literally your girl for passwords and keys ๐Ÿ’…


๐ŸŒธ NAME ๐ŸŒธ

seahorse โ€” Passwords and Keys. that's it, that's the whole name, and honestly? iconic.


๐ŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS ๐ŸŽ€

seahorse [OPTIONS...] [FILES...]

so there's the command, then you can optionally pass OPTIONS... and optionally pass FILES... and it's giving "flexible main character" energy fr fr ๐Ÿซถ


๐Ÿ’– DESCRIPTION ๐Ÿ’–

okay so picture this: seahorse is a graphical interface for managing and using encryption keys, passwords and certificates. yes bestie, graphical, as in it has a window and everything ๐ŸชŸโœจ

currently it supports PGP keys (using GPG/GPGME) and SSH keys โ€” those are the two it's rocking with right now ๐ŸŒˆ

and its goal? two things, both equally slay:

  • being an easy to use Key Management Tool
  • plus an easy to use interface for encryption operations

lowkey that's such a clean mission statement ngl ๐Ÿ’œ


โœจ OPTIONS โœจ

  • -?, --help โ€” prints a short help text and then exits. short and sweet, we love a quick exit ๐Ÿ’จ
  • --help-all โ€” shows all the help options. all of them. the full buffet ๐Ÿ“
  • --help-gtk โ€” shows all the GTK options. yes, GTK has its own little pile of options and this is how you see them ๐ŸŽ€

๐Ÿ‘‘ APPLICATION OPTIONS ๐Ÿ‘‘

  • -v, --version โ€” shows the version of this application. a little "hi, this is me" moment ๐Ÿ’…
  • --display=DISPLAY โ€” the X display to use. you tell it which DISPLAY and that's where it goes ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธโœจ

๐Ÿ’€ BUGS ๐Ÿ’€

if you find a bug โ€” and bestie, bugs happen, it's not a vibe but it's real ๐Ÿ™ˆ โ€” please report it at:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/seahorse/issues/

that's the spot. go there, drop the bug, be a good citizen ๐Ÿงš


heads up: that's the entire man page, no secrets hiding in there โ€” no extra exit statuses, no environment variables, no examples. what you see is what you get, no cap โญ

๐ŸŒธ okay that's a wrap! this little masterpiece comes to you from GNOME, and it's the SEAHORSE(1) page โ€” source and version bundled up right at the bottom, dated and everything ๐ŸŽ€

bye bestie, go manage those keys ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿšโœจ
