+SSH-AGENT(1)                General Commands Manual               SSH-AGENT(1)
+
+NAME
+     ssh-agent M-bM-^@M-^S authentication agent
+
+SYNOPSIS
+     ssh-agent [-c | -s] [-Dd] [-a bind_address] [-E fingerprint_hash]
+               [-t life] [command [arg ...]]
+     ssh-agent [-c | -s] -k

+DESCRIPTION
+     ssh-agent is a program to hold private keys used for public key
+     authentication (RSA, DSA, ECDSA, Ed25519).  ssh-agent is usually started
+     in the beginning of an X-session or a login session, and all other
+     windows or programs are started as clients to the ssh-agent program.
+     Through use of environment variables the agent can be located and
+     automatically used for authentication when logging in to other machines
+     using ssh(1).
+
+     The agent initially does not have any private keys.  Keys are added using
+     ssh(1) (see AddKeysToAgent in ssh_config(5) for details) or ssh-add(1).
+     Multiple identities may be stored in ssh-agent concurrently and ssh(1)
+     will automatically use them if present.  ssh-add(1) is also used to
+     remove keys from ssh-agent and to query the keys that are held in one.
+
+     The options are as follows:
+
+     -a bind_address
+             Bind the agent to the UNIX-domain socket bind_address.  The
+             default is $TMPDIR/ssh-XXXXXXXXXX/agent.<ppid>.
+
+     -c      Generate C-shell commands on stdout.  This is the default if
+             SHELL looks like it's a csh style of shell.
+
+     -D      Foreground mode.  When this option is specified ssh-agent will
+             not fork.
+
+     -d      Debug mode.  When this option is specified ssh-agent will not
+             fork and will write debug information to standard error.
+
+     -E fingerprint_hash
+             Specifies the hash algorithm used when displaying key
+             fingerprints.  Valid options are: M-bM-^@M-^\md5M-bM-^@M-^] and M-bM-^@M-^\sha256M-bM-^@M-^].  The
+             default is M-bM-^@M-^\sha256M-bM-^@M-^].
+
+     -k      Kill the current agent (given by the SSH_AGENT_PID environment
+             variable).
+
+     -s      Generate Bourne shell commands on stdout.  This is the default if
+             SHELL does not look like it's a csh style of shell.
+
+     -t life
+             Set a default value for the maximum lifetime of identities added
+             to the agent.  The lifetime may be specified in seconds or in a
+             time format specified in sshd_config(5).  A lifetime specified
+             for an identity with ssh-add(1) overrides this value.  Without
+             this option the default maximum lifetime is forever.
+
+     If a command line is given, this is executed as a subprocess of the
+     agent.  When the command dies, so does the agent.
+
+     The idea is that the agent is run in the user's local PC, laptop, or
+     terminal.  Authentication data need not be stored on any other machine,
+     and authentication passphrases never go over the network.  However, the
+     connection to the agent is forwarded over SSH remote logins, and the user
+     can thus use the privileges given by the identities anywhere in the
+     network in a secure way.
+
+     There are two main ways to get an agent set up: The first is that the
+     agent starts a new subcommand into which some environment variables are
+     exported, eg ssh-agent xterm &.  The second is that the agent prints the
+     needed shell commands (either sh(1) or csh(1) syntax can be generated)
+     which can be evaluated in the calling shell, eg eval `ssh-agent -s` for
+     Bourne-type shells such as sh(1) or ksh(1) and eval `ssh-agent -c` for
+     csh(1) and derivatives.
+
+     Later ssh(1) looks at these variables and uses them to establish a
+     connection to the agent.
+
+     The agent will never send a private key over its request channel.
+     Instead, operations that require a private key will be performed by the
+     agent, and the result will be returned to the requester.  This way,
+     private keys are not exposed to clients using the agent.
+
+     A UNIX-domain socket is created and the name of this socket is stored in
+     the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable.  The socket is made accessible
+     only to the current user.  This method is easily abused by root or
+     another instance of the same user.
+
+     The SSH_AGENT_PID environment variable holds the agent's process ID.
+
+     The agent exits automatically when the command given on the command line
+     terminates.
+
+FILES
+     $TMPDIR/ssh-XXXXXXXXXX/agent.<ppid>
+             UNIX-domain sockets used to contain the connection to the
+             authentication agent.  These sockets should only be readable by
+             the owner.  The sockets should get automatically removed when the
+             agent exits.

+AUTHORS
+     OpenSSH is a derivative of the original and free ssh 1.2.12 release by
+     Tatu Ylonen.  Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo
+     de Raadt and Dug Song removed many bugs, re-added newer features and
+     created OpenSSH.  Markus Friedl contributed the support for SSH protocol
+     versions 1.5 and 2.0.
