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 us-
       ing 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
