NAME
       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.
