MU VERIFY(1)		     General Commands Manual		    MU VERIFY(1)

NAME
     mu-verify - verify message signatures and display information about them

SYNOPSIS
     mu [COMMON-OPTIONS] verify [OPTIONS] [FILE...]

DESCRIPTION
     mu  verify  is  the  mu  command  for verifying message signatures (such as
     PGP/GPG signatures) and displaying information about them. The  sub-command
     works  on	message files, and does not require the message to be indexed in
     the database.

     If no message file is provided, the command expects the  message  on  stan-
     dard-input.

VERIFY OPTIONS
   -r, --auto-retrieve
     Attempt  to  find	keys  online  (see  the  auto-key-retrieve option in the
     gnupg(1) documentation).

   --decrypt
     Attempt to decrypt the message.

COMMON OPTIONS
   -d, --debug
     Makes mu generate extra debug information, useful for debugging the program
     itself. Debug information goes to the standard logging location; see mu(1).

   -q, --quiet
     Causes mu not to output informational messages and progress information  to
     standard  output,	but  only  to the log file. Error messages will still be
     sent to standard error. Note that mu index is much faster with --quiet,  so
     it is recommended you use this option when using mu from scripts etc.

   --log-stderr
     Causes  mu  to  not  output  log messages to standard error, in addition to
     sending them to the standard logging location.

   --nocolor
     Do not use ANSI colors. The environment variable NO_COLOR can be used as an
     alternative to --nocolor.

   -V, --version
     Prints mu version and copyright information.

   -h, --help
     Lists the various command line options.

EXAMPLES
     To display aggregated (one-line) information about the verification  status
     in a message:
	    $ mu verify msgfile

     To display information about all the signatures:
	    $ mu verify --verbose msgfile

     If you only want to use the exit code, you can use:
	    $ mu verify --quiet msgfile

     which does not give any output unless there is an error.
