• To view the fingerprint of a key, use --fingerprint and the
UID of the key or a subset thereof.
Adding and Removing Keys
GnuPG lets you perform all keyserver operations at the com-
mand line.
• To receive a key from a keyserver, use the --recv-keys
option and the keyid of the key you want to download:
# gpg --recv-keys E68C49BC
• To import a public key from a file, use the --import option
and the name of the file. No other options are required.
To remove a key from your keyring, use the --delete-keys
option and give the UID or keyid of the key you want to
delete.
