+pacman-key - manage pacman's list of trusted keys
+
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+'pacman-key' [options]
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+'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
+-------
+*-a, \--add* [file(s)]::
+ Add the key(s) contained in the specified file or files to pacman's
+ keyring. If a key already exists, update it.
+
+*\--config* <file>::
+ Use an alternate config file instead of the +{sysconfdir}/pacman.conf+
+ default.
+
+*-d, \--delete* <keyid(s)>::
+ Remove the key(s) identified by the specified keyid(s) from pacman's
+ keyring.
+
+*-e, \--export* [keyid(s)]::
+ Export key(s) identified by the specified keyid(s) to 'stdout'. If no keyid
+ is specified, all keys will be exported.
+
+*\--edit-key * <keyid(s)>::
+ Present a menu for key management task on the specified keyids. Useful for
+ adjusting a keys trust level.
+
+*-f, \--finger* [keyid(s)]::
+ List a fingerprint for each specified keyid, or for all known keys if no
+ keyids are specified.
+
+*\--gpgdir* <dir>::
+ Set an alternate home directory for GnuPG. If unspecified, the value is
+ read from +{sysconfdir}/pacman.conf+.
+
+*-h, \--help*::
+ Output syntax and command line options.
+
+*--import* <dir(s)>::
+ Adds keys from pubring.gpg into pacman's keyring and imports ownertrust
+ values from trustdb.gpg in the specified directories.
+
+*--import-dirs* <dir(s)> ::
+ Imports ownertrust values from trustdb.gpg in the specified directories.
+
+*--init*::
+ Ensure the keyring is properly initialized and has the required access
+ permissions.
+
+*-l, \--list-keys* [keyid(s)]::
+ Lists all or specified keys from the public keyring.
+
+*--list-sigs* [keyid(s)]::
+ Same as --list-keys, but the signatures are listed too.
+
+*-r, \--receive* <keyserver> <keyid(s)>::
+ Fetch the specified keyids from the specified key server URL.
+
+*\--reload*::
+ Reloads the keys from the keyring package.
+
+*-u, \--updatedb*::
+ Equivalent to \--check-trustdb in GnuPG.
+
+* -v, \--verify* <signature>::
+ Verify the given signature file.
+
+*-V, \--version*::
+ Displays the program version.
