#### 7.4.1 Invoking gpgconf

One of the following commands must be given:

`--list-components`
  List all components. This is the default command used if none is specified.
`--list-options` component
  List all options of the component component.
`--change-options` component
  Change the options of the component component.
`--apply-defaults`
  Update all configuration files with values taken from the global configuration file (usually `/etc/gnupg/gpgconf.conf`).
`--check-config [`filename`]`
  Run a syntax check ion the global configuration file. If filename is given, check that file instead.

The following options may be used:

`-v`
`--verbose`
  Outputs additional information while running. Specifically, this extends numerical field values by human-readable descriptions.
`-r`
`--runtime`
  Only used together with `--change-options`. If one of the modified options can be changed in a running daemon process, signal the running daemon to ask it to reparse its configuration file after changing.

  This means that the changes will take effect at run-time, as far as this is possible. Otherwise, they will take effect at the next start of the respective backend programs.
