Synopsis -------- -'pacman-key' [options]<command> [arguments] +'pacman-key' [options]
Description ----------- -'pacman-key' is a script used to manage pacman's keyring, which is the collection -of GnuPG keys used to check signed packages. It provides the ability to import -and export keys, fetch keys from keyservers and update the key trust database. +'pacman-key' is a wrapper script for GnuPG used to manage pacman's keyring, which +is the collection of PGP keys used to check signed packages and databases. It +provides the ability to import and export keys, fetch keys from keyservers and +update the key trust database.
+More complex keyring management can be achieved using GnuPG directly combined with +the `--homedir` option pointing at the pacman keyring (located in ++{sysconfdir}/pacman.d/gnupg+ by default).
-Options -------- -*\--config*<file>:: - Use an alternate config file instead of the +{sysconfdir}/pacman.conf+ - default.
-*\--gpgdir*<dir>:: - Set an alternate home directory for GnuPG. If unspecified, the value is - read from +{sysconfdir}/pacman.conf+. - - -Commands +Options ------- -*-a, \--add* file ...:: +*-a, \--add* [file(s)]:: Add the key(s) contained in the specified file or files to pacman's keyring.

Should be --delete instead of --del
Yes - good spotting. Fixed. Allan
