NAME
     gpg-zip - Encrypt or sign files

SYNOPSIS
     gpg-zip  [options] filename1 [ filename2, ... ] directory1 [
     directory2, ... ]


DESCRIPTION
     gpg-zip encrypts or signs files into an archive.  It  is  an
     gpg-ized tar using the same format as used by PGP's PGP Zip.


OPTIONS
     gpg-zip understands these options:



     --encrypt

     -e   Encrypt data.  This option may be combined with  --sym-
          metric  (for  output that may be decrypted via a secret
          key or a passphrase).


     --decrypt

     -d   Decrypt data.


     --symmetric

     -c   Encrypt with a symmetric  cipher  using  a  passphrase.
          The  default symmetric cipher used is CAST5, but may be
          chosen with the --cipher-algo option to gpg.


     --sign

     -s   Make a signature.  See gpg.


     --recipient user

     -r user
          Encrypt for user id user. See gpg.


     --local-user user

     -u user
          Use user as the key to sign with.  See gpg.
