It is also possible that I did not list it with --help so that the user is required to read the full blurb: --export-secret-keys --export-secret-subkeys Same as --export, but exports the secret keys instead. This is normally not very useful and a security risk. The second form of the command has the special property to render the secret part of the primary key useless; this is a GNU extension to OpenPGP and other implementations can not be expected to successfully import such a key. See the option --simple-sk-checksum if you want to import such an exported key with an older OpenPGP implementation. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
