NAME
       dirmngr-client - Tool to access the Dirmngr services

SYNOPSIS
       dirmngr-client [options] [certfile|pattern]

DESCRIPTION
       The  dirmngr-client  is	a simple tool to contact a running dirmngr and test whether a certificate has been revoked —
       either by being listed in the corresponding CRL or by running the OCSP protocol.	 If no dirmngr is running, a new in‐
       stances will be started but this is in general not a good idea due to the huge performance overhead.

       The usual way to run this tool is either:

	 dirmngr-client acert

       or

	 dirmngr-client dirmngr(8), gpgsm(1)

       The  full  documentation for this tool is maintained as a Texinfo manual.  If GnuPG and the info program are properly
       installed at your site, the command

	 info gnupg

       should give you access to the complete manual including a menu structure and an index.
