DESCRIPTION
This is a re-implementation and drop-in replacement of gpg using the Sequoia OpenPGP implementation.
gpg-sq is not feature-complete. It currently implements a commonly used subset of the signature creation
and verification commands, the encryption and decryption commands, the key listing commands, and some
miscellaneous commands.
Support for trust models is limited. Currently, the Web-of-Trust ("pgp") and always trust ("always") are
implemented.

[ARGS] Additional arguments. The semantics of the additional arguments, and if there are any, and how
many, is dependent on the selected command.
ENVIRONMENT
GNUPGHOME
If set, must contain an absolute path to a directory containing the GnuPG state, i.e. the
configuration files, the cert rings, the secret keys, and the trust database. Can be overridden
using the the option `--gnupghome`. If unset, and the option `--gnupghome` is not given, defaults
to `$HOME/.gnupg`. In the FILES section below, `$GNUPGHOME` is the location of the GnuPG state
directory, independently on how it is set (i.e. unset, set via `--gnupghome`, or set via
`$GNUPGHOME).
SEQUOIA_CRYPTO_POLICY
If set, must contain an absolute path to a configuration file that changes which cryptographic
algorithms are acceptable. By default, /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/sequoia.config is read,
which on Fedora contains a reasonable policy set by the distribution. See
https://docs.rs/sequoia-policy-config/latest/sequoia_policy_config/#format for a description of
the file format.
FILES
$GNUPGHOME/gpg.conf
GnuPG's main configuration file.
$GNUPGHOME/dirmngr.conf
GnuPG's network configuration file. gpg-sq reads this and honors a subset of the options given.
$XDG_DATA_HOME/pgp.cert.d
Default certificate store on POSIX systems if the default `GNUPGHOME` is used. This location is
read and written to.
$HOME/Library/Application Support/pgp.cert.d
Default certificate store on macOS if the default `GNUPGHOME` is used. This location is read and
written to.
{FOLDERID_RoamingAppData}/pgp.cert.d
Default certificate store on Windows if the default `GNUPGHOME` is used. This location is read
and written to.
$GNUPGHOME/pubring.cert.d
Certificate store if a non-default `GNUPGHOME` is used. This location is read and written to.
$GNUPGHOME/pubring.kbx
GnuPG's default certificate store. This file is read and monitored for changes, but never
changed.
$GNUPGHOME/pubring.gpg
GnuPG's legacy certificate store. This file is read and monitored for changes, but never changed.
$GNUPGHOME/public-keys.d/pubring.db
GnuPG 2.4.x's certificate store. This file is read and monitored for changes, but never changed.
$GNUPGHOME/secring.gpg
GnuPG's legacy secret key store. gpg-sq does not use this file, except for doing a migration from
pre-2.1 state directories.
$GNUPGHOME/.gpg-v21-migrated
Indicates that the state directory has been migrated from a pre-2.1 release.
$GNUPGHOME/trustdb.gpg
GnuPG's trust database. This file is read and monitored for changes, but never modified.
/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/sequoia.config
Default cryptographic policy. On Fedora, this contains a reasonable policy set by the
distribution. Can be overridden using the SEQUOIA_POLICY_CONFIG environment variable. See
https://docs.rs/sequoia-policy-config/latest/sequoia_policy_config/#format for a description of
the file format.
