What is pubring.kbx?

[Lou Wynn]

I just happened to read this page today, and it's still open in my browser.

https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/GPG-Configuration.html#GPG-Configuration


~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
The public keyring using a different format. This file is sharred with
gpgsm. You should backup this file.

Cheers

Lou
