I am using gpg - 

$ gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.12
libgcrypt 1.8.4

I am trying to understand the difference between the two commands :

$ gpg --list-key

and:

$ gpg --fingerprint

from whatever little I see, I don't see any difference between two outputs. Am I looking at something wrong ?

    They both produce the same output, except --fingerprint outputs its hex code into 10 groups of 4 numbers, instead of bunching them as one string of 40 hex numbers as with --list-key. Commented Mar 17, 2019 at 7:18

    make it as an answer that was what @GAD3R was saying. Commented Mar 21, 2019 at 16:12
  • Just being curious, is --list-key or --list-keys? Though man gpg only appears the latter Commented Feb 8 at 16:43

The --fingerprint option prints the fingerprint into 10 groups of 4 caracters to easily verify the gpg key.
