SYNOPSIS
gpg-zip [options] [files]
DESCRIPTION
gpg-zip encrypts or signs files into an archive using GnuPG. It combines tar archiving with GPG encryption in a format compatible with PGP Zip, supporting both symmetric (passphrase) and asymmetric (public-key) encryption.
This tool is deprecated in favor of gpgtar, which provides the same functionality with better integration into the modern GnuPG suite.
