The command --change-options component
will attempt
to change the options of the component component to the
specified values. component must be the string in the field
name in the output of the --list-components
command. You
have to provide the options that shall be changed in the following
format on standard input:
name:flags:new-value
This is the name of the option to change. name must be the
string in the field name in the output of the
--list-options
command.
The flags field contains an unsigned number. Its value is the OR-wise combination of the following flag values:
default (16)
If this flag is set, the option is deleted and the default value is used instead (if applicable).
The new value for the option. This field is only defined if the
default
flag is not set. The format is that of an option
argument. If it is empty (or the field is omitted), the default
argument is used (only allowed if the argument is optional for this
option). Otherwise, the option will be set to the specified value.
The output of the command is the same as that of
--check-options
for the modified configuration file.
Examples:
To set the force option, which is of basic type none (0)
:
$ echo 'force:0:1' | gpgconf --change-options dirmngr
To delete the force option:
$ echo 'force:16:' | gpgconf --change-options dirmngr
The --runtime
option can influence when the changes take
effect.
