What is the "list keyring content" command?

[Benjamin Marwell]

Hi,

try
$ gpg2 --no-default-keyring --keyring <file> --list-keys

It doesn't give me the same output, but this seems the most obviuous
command to me. I couldn't find the exact output either. I was missing
fingerprints, but --with-fingerprint didn't help.

Hope this helps,
Ben
