@table @gnupgtabopt
@ifset gpgtwoone
@item --quick-gen-key @code{user-id}
@opindex quick-gen-key
This is simple command to generate a standard key with one user id.
In contrast to @option{--gen-key} the key is generated directly
without the need to answer a bunch of prompts. Unless the option
@option{--yes} is given, the key creation will be canceled if the
given user id already exists in the key ring.
If invoked directly on the console without any special options an
answer to a ``Continue?'' style confirmation prompt is required. In
case the user id already exists in the key ring a second prompt to
force the creation of the key will show up.
@end ifset
@item --gen-key
@opindex gen-key
Generate a new key pair. This command is normally only used
interactively.
There is an experimental feature which allows you to create keys in
batch mode. See the file @file{doc/DETAILS} in the source distribution
on how to use this.
