\fBmu verify\fR is the \fBmu\fR command for verifying message signatures (such
|
|
|
|
as PGP/GPG signatures) and displaying information about them. The sub-command
|
|
|
|
works on message files, and does not require the message to be indexed in the
|
|
|
|
database.

|
|
|
To display aggregated (one-line) information about the verification status in a
|
|
|
|
message:
|
2012-07-17 18:19:14 +02:00
|
|
|
.nf
|
2015-06-14 10:40:07 +02:00
|
|
|
$ mu verify msgfile
|
2012-07-17 18:19:14 +02:00
|
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To display information about all the signatures:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
$ mu verify --verbose msgfile
|
|
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you only want to use the exit code, you can use:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
2013-06-04 00:23:22 +02:00
|
|
|
$ mu verify --quiet msgfile
|
2012-07-17 18:19:14 +02:00
|
|
|
.fi
|
2022-04-10 10:58:54 +02:00
|
|
