GETKEY(1)		     General Commands Manual		       GETKEY(1)

NAME
     getkey -- fetch one or more keys from an OpenPGP keyserver

SYNOPSIS
     getkey keyid...

DESCRIPTION
     The  getkey utility invokes GnuPG to fetch one or more keys from an OpenPGP
     keyserver.

RETURN VALUES
     The getkey utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

ENVIRONMENT
     If the KEYSERVERS variable is set in the environment, getkey will use it to
     determine which keyservers  to  fetch  the  keys  from,  instead  of  using
     pool.sks-keyservers.net.

     If  the  standard	HTTP_PROXY  variable is set, and NOKEYPROXY is not, then
     getkey will pass a --http-proxy parameter to gpg(1).

FILES
     The getkey utility's operation is currently not directly  affected  by  any
     files.

EXAMPLES
     Fetch some keys from a keyserver:

	   getkey 2527DF13 16194553

     Explicity specify the keyserver to use:

	   env KEYSERVERS=subkeys.pgp.net getkey 2527DF13

SEE ALSO
