pius - PGP Individual UID Signer
pius [options] -s <signer-keyid>
<keyid> [ <keyid> ... ]
pius [options] -A -r <keyring-path>
-s <signer-keyid>
pius is a tool for individually signing all of the UIDs on
a set of keys, and emailing an encrypted copy of each such signature to the
email address associated with that UID.
As a result of this process, the recipient can choose which
signatures to import. Also, signatures of inactive uids are not delivered.
This tool greatly reduces time and error when signing keys.

- -h, --help

- -A,
--all-keys
- Sign all keys on the keyring. Requires -r.

Ignored if -r is not specified, or if it's the same as the default
keyring.
- -m FROM-EMAIL,
--mail=FROM-EMAIL
- Email the encrypted, signed keys to the respective email addresses using
FROM-EMAIL as the sender. See also -H and -P.
- -M FILE,
--mail-text=FILE
