this command line tool for your computer
SigChkTl is a command line version of SigCheck. It can be used to automate checking the digital signatures that are used throughout this website. It is written to be platform independent, using the C standard library.
It takes two arguments: First, a path to a file containing a signed message. And second, a path to a file containing a public key, in ascii armored format.
If the signature is correctly signed, SigChkTl will return a zero result ("$?" in bash, "{status}" in MPW). Otherwise the result will be non-zero.
SigChkTl is in part descended from MacPGP source code, which, as far as I can tell, allows derived works for noncommercial use.
