first, do:

gpg --import < localfile.key

then do other gpg stuff, referring to the key by its ID or by the user
ID associated with it.

a single file could contain multiple independent keys, or a single
primary key with a bunch of subkeys, so it doesn't make sense to use the
file itself to indicate which key to use.
