 4 Invoking GPG
 **************
 
 'gpg2' is the OpenPGP part of the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG). It is a
 tool to provide digital encryption and signing services using the
 OpenPGP standard.  'gpg2' features complete key management and all the
 bells and whistles you would expect from a full OpenPGP implementation.
 
    There are two main versions of GnuPG: GnuPG 1.x and GnuPG 2.x.  GnuPG
 2.x supports modern encryption algorithms and thus should be preferred
 over GnuPG 1.x.  You only need to use GnuPG 1.x if your platform doesn't
 support GnuPG 2.x, or you need support for some features that GnuPG 2.x
 has deprecated, e.g., decrypting data created with PGP-2 keys.
 
    In contrast to the standalone command 'gpg' from GnuPG 1.x, the 2.x
 version is commonly installed under the name 'gpg2'.
