--verify
Assume that the first argument is a signed file or a detached signature and verify it without
generating any output. With no arguments, the signature packet is read from STDIN. If only a
sigfile is given, it may be a complete signature or a detached signature, in which case the signed
stuff is expected in a file without the ".sig" or ".asc" extension. With more than 1 argument,
the first should be a detached signature and the remaining files are the signed stuff. To read the
signed stuff from STDIN, use '-'' as the second filename. For security reasons a detached
signature cannot read the signed material from STDIN without denoting it in the above way.
