It seems that you are right. It's not mentioned in --help, but it's mentioned in the manual page. > --export-secret-keys > > --export-secret-subkeys > Same as --export, but exports the secret keys instead.

It's directly copy-pasted from most and copy-pasting from pager looks weird always. - -- Mika Suomalainen gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 4DB53CFE82A46728 Key fingerprint = 24BC 1573 B8EE D666 D10A AA65 4DB5 3CFE 82A4 6728 http://mkaysi.github.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJPpoZ7AAoJEE21PP6CpGcoyhEP+gJ/hWf2EnwCr6fdajXpN1cr AXUsD4pxYMDT0dLcILlxYjCkCcUjebuimHguR6qEk/ErZB5b0eKBB0G9GrPmFhri F5ABvwuJ5W/3chqw4rBtND3HKcMwUndwWS8+OcDcxw9FS7IIYm4uAfI40TObjvKv 7cRKKHnpT5xW/e+d6A93RDQzCGEt8FotzHBSsteNfnvEekWX+b9uMF9MqJwgS3yw xmHs/iDuVBKONOc1Vm4pMElajhwTDwOmBJvX3IZYIZVpAOxUyD48VJCaB1r6HUwo H21dAku3g/pPguNp/2kBRilrNFNfOXZySvN9y+r5fK5vsbSjiDeF472UiRJ5WX4z 0S0S7GspmUQJsnKgkAS0oUDKus+cVBuojrAFIIYE6wz7IVUjoravnhfVC/lm2iAm LZA+gdU4b8rPe7GA+ANej8ySX/wEc6wMX3Lf3ZUWeLXTdrttZ4AqSFua0GHgzm8j vJFJl2sRfj3Nvj+foS1DpW6g5mk6M9zYTQB8LN14dnjOgEFyunkQIjVwAY1mZ0bd nRCHWAwILGA0Lp7xGBkCZgO271B9ZrVst/cyGbIUP13uOP8YW0jP3ps48DZZwZLt 9w9500xi3F4DJxtcaqVZuNPNifbDNqE8Qk1r3vqJcbNaMRYakZLAmPMxoA4Oyp/l phPB7ggRJ9GohPrTwls0 =qtDu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
