Usage: gpgverify --keyring=<pathname> --signature=<pathname> --data=<pathname>

gpgverify is a wrapper around gpgv designed for easy and safe scripting. It
verifies a file against a detached OpenPGP signature and a keyring. The keyring
shall contain all the keys that are trusted to certify the authenticity of the
file, and must not contain any untrusted keys.

The differences, compared to invoking gpgv directly, are that gpgverify accepts
the keyring in either ASCII-armored or unarmored form, and that it will not
accidentally use a default keyring in addition to the specified one.

Parameters:
  --keyring=<pathname>    keyring with all the trusted keys and no others
  --signature=<pathname>  detached signature to verify
  --data=<pathname>       file to verify against the signature
