       gpg-zip - Encrypt or sign files into an archive
SYNOPSIS
       gpg-zip [options] filename1 [ filename2, ... ] directory1 [ directory2,
       ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       gpg-zip encrypts or signs files into an archive.  It is an gpg-ized tar
       using the same format as used by PGP's PGP Zip.

OPTIONS
       gpg-zip understands these options:

       --encrypt
       -e     Encrypt data.  This option may be combined with --symmetric (for
              output that may be decrypted via a secret key or a passphrase).

       --decrypt
       -d     Decrypt data.

       --symmetric
       -c     Encrypt with a symmetric cipher using a passphrase.  The default
              symmetric  cipher  used  is  CAST5,  but  may be chosen with the
              --cipher-algo option to gpg.

       -s     Make a signature.  See gpg.

              Write output to specified file file.
