GPG-KEY2PS(1)	       User Contributed Perl Documentation	   GPG-KEY2PS(1)

NAME
     gpg-key2ps - generates a PS file from a GnuPG keyring

SYNOPSIS
     gpg-key2ps [-r revoked-style] [-p papersize] [-1] [-s] keyid-or-name [ ...
     ]

DESCRIPTION
     gpg-key2ps generates a PostScript file with your OpenPGP key fingerprint
     (repeated as often as it fits) useful for keysigning parties. The only ar-
     gument is the same as you would pass to GPG's list-keys command, either a
     key-id or a (partial) name.  The PS data is written to stdout.

OPTIONS
     -p --paper-size paper-size
	 Select the output paper size. Default is to look into /etc/papersize or
	 A4 if libpaper isn't installed.

     -s --show-subkeys
	 Enable subkey information to be printed on the slips. Subkey informa-
	 tion is normally not relevant to the key signing process.

     -r --revoked-style revoked-style
	 Select how to mark revoked UIDs and subkeys. Five styles are available:
	  hide don't show at all (default),
	  show show normally,
	  grey display in 50% grey,
	  note add "[revoked]", and
	  strike strike through.

     -1  Print only one column of paper slips instead of the default two. Useful
	 for keys with long UIDs that otherwise won't fit.

     keyid
	 Keyids to print. Multiple can be separated by spaces.

     -h --help
	 Print usage and exit.

     -v --version
	 Print version and exit.

ENVIRONMENT
     HOMEThe default home directory.

     GNUPGBIN
	 The gpg binary.  Default: "gpg".

     GNUPGHOME
	 The default working directory for gpg.  Default: "$HOME/.gnupg".

SEE ALSO
     gpg(1)
	 GNU Privacy Guard.

     gpg-key2latex(1)
	 Like gpg-key2ps, but produces LaTeX output instead.

     https://www.debian.org/events/materials/business-cards/
	 gpg-key2ps prints plain fingerprint slips. If you are looking for some-
	 thing more stylish, look at these latex templates for business cards
	 that also include fingerprints.
