+pacman-key - manage pacman's list of trusted keys
+
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+'pacman-key' [options] <command> [arguments]
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+pacman-key is a script used to manage pacman's keyring, which is the collection
+of GnuPG keys used to check signed packages. It provides the ability to import
+and export keys, fetch keys from keyservers and update the key trust database.
+
+
+Options
+-------
+*\--config* <file>::
+ Use an alternate config file instead of the `{sysconfdir}/pacman.conf`
+ default.
+
+*\--gpgdir* <dir>::
+ Set an alternate home directory for GnuPG. If unspecified, the value is
+ read from `{sysconfdir}/pacman.conf`.
+
+
+Commands
+-------
+*-a, \--add* file ...::
+ Add the key(s) contained in the specified file or files to pacman's
+ keyring. If a key already exists, update it.
+
+*\--adv* param ...::
+ Use this option to issue particular GnuPG actions to pacman's keyring. This
+ option should be used with care as it can modify pacman's trust in
+ packages' signatures.
+
+*-d, \--del* keyid ...::
+ Remove the key(s) identified by the specified keyid or keyids from pacman's
+ keyring.
+
+*-e, \--export* [keyid ...]::
+ Export key(s) identified by the specified keyid to 'stdout'. If no keyid is
+ specified, all keys will be exported.
+
+*-f, \--finger* [keyid ...]::
+ List a fingerprint for each specified keyid, or for all known keys if no
+ keyids are specified.
+
+*-h, \--help*::
+ Output syntax and command line options.
+
+*-l, \--list*::
+ Equivalent to --list-sigs from GnuPG.
+
+*-r, \--receive* keyserver keyid ...::
+ Fetch the specified keyids from the specified key server URL.
+
+*\--reload*::
+ Reloads the keys from the keyring package.
+
+*-t, \--trust* keyid::
+ Set the trust level of the given key.
+
+*-u, \--updatedb*::
+ Equivalent to \--check-trustdb in GnuPG.
+
+*-v, \--version*::
+ Displays the program version.
