+.TH PINENTRY-TQT 1 "27 Jan 2005"
+.SH NAME
+pinentry\-tqt \- PIN or pass-phrase entry dialog for GnuPG
+.PP
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBpinentry-tqt\fB [\fIOPTION\fR...]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBpinentry\-tqt\fR is a program that allows for secure entry of PINs or
+pass phrases. That means it tries to take care that the entered
+information is not swapped to disk or temporarily stored anywhere.
+This functionality is particularly useful for entering pass phrases
+when using encryption software such as GnuPG or e-mail clients using
+the same. It uses an open protocol and is therefore not tied to
+particular software.
+.PP
+\fBpinentry-tqt\fR implements a PIN entry dialog
+using the TQt tool kit, so it is especially suitable for users of TDE.
+If the X Window System is not active then an alternative text-mode
+dialog will be used. There are other flavors that implement PIN
+entry dialogs using other tool kits.
+.PP
+\fBpinentry\-tqt\fR is typically used internally by \fBgpg-agent\fR.
+Users don't normally have a reason to call it directly.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+\fB\-\-version\fR
+Print the program version and licensing information.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-help\fR
+Print a usage message summarizing the most useful command-line options.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-debug\fR, \fB\-d\fR
+Turn on some debugging. Mostly useful for the maintainers. Note
+that this may reveal sensitive information like the entered pass phrase.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-enhanced\fR, \fB\-e\fR
+Ask for timeouts and insurance, too. Note that this is currently
+not fully supported.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-no\-global\-grab\fR, \fB\-g\fR
+Grab the keyboard only when the window is focused. Use this
+option if you are debugging software using \fBpinentry\-tqt\fR;
+otherwise you may not be able to to access your X session anymore (unless
+you have other means to connect to the machine to kill
+\fBpinentry\-tqt\fR).
+.TP
+\fB\-\-parent\-wid\fR \fIN\fR
+Use window ID \fIN\fR as the parent window for positioning the window.
+Note, that this is not fully supported by all flavors of \fBpinentry\fR.
+.TP
+\fB--display\fR \fISTRING\fR, \fB--ttyname\fR \fISTRING\fR, \fB--ttytype\fR \fISTRING\fR, \fB--lc-type\fR \fISTRING\fR, \fB--lc-messages\fR \fISTRING\fR
+These options are used to pass localization information to
+\fBpinentry-tqt\fR. They are required because
+\fBpinentry-tqt\fR is usually called by
+some background process which does not have any information on the
+locale and terminal to use. Assuan protocol options are an
+alternative way to pass these information.
