SEAHORSE(1)
๐โจ SEAHORSE(1) โ the seahorse manual, but make it a group chat โจ๐
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 ๐
๐ธ NAME ๐ธ
seahorse โ Passwords and Keys. that's it, that's the whole name, and honestly? iconic.
๐ SYNOPSIS ๐
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 ๐ซถ
๐ DESCRIPTION ๐
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 ๐ชโจ
currently it supports PGP keys (using GPG/GPGME) and SSH keys โ those are the two it's rocking with right now ๐
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 ๐
โจ OPTIONS โจ
-?,--helpโ prints a short help text and then exits. short and sweet, we love a quick exit ๐จ--help-allโ shows all the help options. all of them. the full buffet ๐--help-gtkโ shows all the GTK options. yes, GTK has its own little pile of options and this is how you see them ๐
๐ APPLICATION OPTIONS ๐
-v,--versionโ shows the version of this application. a little "hi, this is me" moment ๐--display=DISPLAYโ the X display to use. you tell it which DISPLAY and that's where it goes ๐ฅ๏ธโจ
๐ BUGS ๐
if you find a bug โ and bestie, bugs happen, it's not a vibe but it's real ๐ 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 ๐ง
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
๐ธ 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 ๐
bye bestie, go manage those keys ๐๐โจ
