4.17) How do I put my keyring in a different directory?
GnuPG keeps several files in a special homedir directory. These
include the options file, pubring.gpg, secring.gpg, the trustdb, and
others. Gnupg will always create and use these files. On unices,
the homedir is usually ~/.gnupg; on Windows "C:\gnupg\".
If you want to put your keyrings somewhere else, use
--homedir /my/path/ to make gnupg create all its
files in that directory. Your keyring will be
"/my/path/pubring.gpg". This way you can store your secrets on a
floppy disk. Don't use "--keyring" as its purpose is to specify
additional keyring files.
