#### 5.6.4 Verifying a Message

To verify a message the command:

      VERIFY

is used. It does a verify operation on the message send to the input FD. The result is written out using status lines. If an output FD was given, the signed text will be written to that. If the signature is a detached one, the server will inquire about the signed material and the client must provide it.
