* NAME

mu-verify - verify message signatures and display information about them

* SYNOPSIS

*mu [common-options] verify [options] [<file> ... ]*

* DESCRIPTION

*mu verify* is the *mu* 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.

If no message file is provided, the command expects the message on
standard-input.

* VERIFY OPTIONS

** -r, --auto-retrieve
attempt to find keys online (see the *auto-key-retrieve* option in the *gnupg(1)*
documentation).

** decrypt
attempt to decrypt the message

#+include: "common-options.inc" :minlevel 1

* EXAMPLES

To display aggregated (one-line) information about the verification status in a
message:
#+begin_example
$ mu verify msgfile
#+end_example

To display information about all the signatures:
#+begin_example
$ mu verify --verbose msgfile
#+end_example

If you only want to use the exit code, you can use:
#+begin_example
$ mu verify --quiet msgfile
#+end_example
which does not give any output unless there is an error.
