gpgconf: List all options of a component.
$ gpgconf --list-options ${component}
try on your machine

The command "gpgconf --list-options ${component}" is used to list the available configuration options for a specific component in the GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) configuration.

Here's how the command works:

  • "gpgconf" is the command-line utility for managing the GPG configuration.
  • "--list-options" is an option that tells gpgconf to list the configuration options.
  • "${component}" is a placeholder for the name of the component you want to list the options for.

When you execute this command, you replace "${component}" with the actual name of the component you are interested in, such as "gpg" for the GPG engine or "scdaemon" for the SmartCard daemon.

For example, if you want to list the options for the GPG engine, you would run: "gpgconf --list-options gpg".

The command will then display a list of available configuration options for the specified component, along with their current values and possible ranges or valid values. This helps you understand the available settings and configurations that can be adjusted for that particular component in GPG.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
