when the following command is executed successfully:
gpg --full-gen-key
About the output as follows:
Change (N)ame, (C)omment, (E)mail or (O)kay/(Q)uit? O
We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.

Through the web I did do a research through many tutorials about the output for the mentioned command and others about reporting
I know that pub is the public key, uid is the user id and sub is the secret key. And for other outputs there are more, such as ssb etc
I have two questions:
- What is the official name in general for each one? (
pub,uid,sub,ssb, etc). I mean, component? block? entry? property? term? - Where and what is the official list where is listed each one and described?
Yes, I did do a research at GnuPG - Documentation and seems is not possible get the correct answers for 1 and 2
I am assuming that would exists other official source where GnuPG would depend and I am not aware of that
