NAME
$l - run PGP with passphrase supplied by Pixie

SYNOPSYS
$l [pgp options]

DESCRIPTION
$l makes a connection to the passphrase pixie and then runs $config_x_normalpgp in such a way as to ensure that it will read the passphrase from this connection rather than from the keyboard or the environment. This is done by opening a unix-domain socket to the pixie, and then passing the file descriptor of the socket to $config_x_normalpgp in the PGPPASSFD environment variable. All command-line options are passed through to $config_x_normalpgp unchanged.

ENVIRONMENT

PGPPASS
    If this is set no connection to the pixie is attempted - it is assumed that $config_x_normalpgp will use it as the passphrase.

PGPPATH
    The PGP files directory. Depending on your installation the passphrase socket will be in a subdirectory .wrapper of this directory.

FILES

GPPATH/.wrapper/$config_socketname
    The socket on which to find the pixie listening.
