NAME
       dirmngr-client - Tool to access the Dirmngr services

SYNOPSIS
       dirmngr-client [options] [certfile|pattern]

DESCRIPTION
       The  dirmngr-client  is a simple tool to contact a running dirmngr and test whether a certificate has
       been revoked — either by being listed in the corresponding CRL or by running the OCSP  protocol.	  If
       no  dirmngr is running, a new instances will be started but this is in general not a good idea due to
       the huge performance overhead.

       The usual way to run this tool is either:

	 dirmngr-client acert

       or

	 dirmngr-client dirmngr(8), gpgsm(1)

       The full documentation for this tool is maintained as a Texinfo manual.	If GnuPG and the  info	pro‐
       gram are properly installed at your site, the command

	 info gnupg

       should give you access to the complete manual including a menu structure and an index.
