gpg-tui:tldr:6151c
The command gpg-tui --style ${colored} --armor
is used to launch a text-based user interface (TUI) for GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) with a specified style and output format.
Here is a breakdown of the different components:
-
gpg-tui
: This is the executable command for launching the GPG TUI. GPG is a free and open-source implementation of the OpenPGP encryption standard. -
--style ${colored}
: This flag sets the style of the TUI interface.${colored}
is likely a variable that holds a value specifying the colored style for better visual distinction and readability. This style option enhances the appearance of the user interface by using different colors for different elements. -
--armor
: This flag specifies that the output should be in ASCII armor format. ASCII armor is a way of representing binary data (such as encrypted messages or cryptographic keys) using only printable ASCII characters. It is commonly used for exchanging secure data through non-binary mediums (e.g., email).
Therefore, when executing the command, it will launch the GPG TUI with the specified style set to ${colored}
, providing a visually appealing interface, and the output generated will be in ASCII armor format.
