Is there a parsing guide somewhere? Hi, Bo. There should be a file called DETAILS (in doc/DETAILS in the gnupg source, or maybe included with your local installation) that describes in detail the meaning of the --with-colons output. It's exactly the reference you're looking for when writing a program to parse the --with-colons output. Good luck! jamie. $ head gnupg2-2.0.14/doc/DETAILS -*- text -*- Format of colon listings ======================== First an example: $ gpg --fixed-list-mode --with-colons --list-keys \ --with-fingerprint --with-fingerprint w...@gnupg.org pub:f:1024:17:6C7EE1B8621CC013:899817715:1055898235::m:::scESC: fpr:::::::::ECAF7590EB3443B5C7CF3ACB6C7EE1B8621CC013: $ _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
