7.7.1 List of all commands and options.

gpg-preset-passphrase is invoked this way:

     gpg-preset-passphrase [options] [command] keygrip

keygrip is a 40 character string of hexadecimal characters identifying the key for which the passphrase should be set or cleared. This keygrip is listed along with the key when running the command: gpgsm --dump-secret-keys. One of the following command options must be given:

--preset
Preset a passphrase. This is what you usually will use. gpg-preset-passphrase will then read the passphrase from stdin.
--forget
Flush the passphrase for the given keygrip from the cache.

The following additional options may be used:

-v
--verbose
Output additional information while running.
-P string
--passphrase string
Instead of reading the passphrase from stdin, use the supplied string as passphrase. Note that this makes the passphrase visible for other users.
