gpgconf: List the directories used by gpgconf.
$ gpgconf --list-dirs
try on your machine
The command "gpgconf --list-dirs" is used to display the directories used by the GnuPG (GPG) configuration system.
When executed, the "gpgconf" program queries the GPG configuration files to determine various directories used in GPG's operations. These directories can include places where GPG looks for keyrings, configuration files, sockets, and other important files.
The command lists the following directories, among others:
- "sysconfdir": The system-wide configuration directory, where GPG looks for its main configuration files.
- "homedir": The user-specific GPG home directory, where each user's individual keyring, configuration files, and other GPG-related data are stored.
- "bindir": The directory where GPG binaries, such as the gpg executable, are located.
- "libexecdir": The location where internal GPG helper programs are installed.
- "datadir": The GPG data directory, which contains various data files used by GPG.
These listed directories provide insight into the file system structure used by GPG and can be useful for troubleshooting, modifying GPG configurations, or creating scripts that interact with GPG.
