 Introduction
 ************
 
 This manual documents how to use the PINENTRY and its protocol.
 
    The PINENTRY is a small GUI application used to enter PINs or
 passphrases. It is usually invoked by GPG-AGENT ( Invoking the
 gpg-agent (gnupg)Invoking GPG-AGENT, for details).
 
    PINENTRY comes in 3 flavors to fit the look and feel of the used GUI
 toolkit:  A GTK+ based one named `pinentry-gtk', a QT based one named
 `pinentry-qt' and a non-graphical one based on curses and named
 `pinentry-curses'.  Not all of them might be available on your
 installation.  If curses is supported on your system, the GUI based
 flavors fall back to curses when the `DISPLAY' variable is not set.
