-does not exist a keyring named @file{trustedkeys.gpg} is used.  The

+If no @code{--keyring} option is given, @code{gpgv} looks for a
+``default'' keyring named @file{trustedkeys.kbx} (preferred) or
+@file{trustedkeys.gpg} in the home directory of GnuPG, either the
+default home directory or the one set by the @code{--homedir} option
+or the @code{GNUPGHOME} environment variable.  If any @code{--keyring}
+option is used, @code{gpgv} will not look for the default keyring. The
+@code{--keyring} option may be used multiple times and all specified
+keyrings will be used together.
