Is this a question?

RTFM.  It's really, _really_, _REALLY_ useful.  

  -u, --local-user name
            Use  name  as  the  user ID to sign.  This option is
	    silently ignored for the list commands, so that it can be
	    used  in  an options file.
 

Also something else to read that I found useful was The GNU Privacy
Handbook :-
