#+TITLE: MU VERIFY
#+MAN_CLASS_OPTIONS: :section-id "@SECTION_ID@" :date "@MAN_DATE@"
#+include: macros.inc

* 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
{{{man-link(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.
