2.SH NAME
3gnunet\-identity \- create, delete or list egos
4.SH SYNOPSIS
5.B gnunet\-identity
6[options]
7.SH DESCRIPTION
8.PP
9gnunet\-identity is a tool for managing egos. An ego is the persona that controls a namespace. It is identical to a public\-private ECC key pair.
10
11gnunet\-identity can be used to list all of the egos that were created locally, to create new egos, and to delete existing egos (the namespace will continue to exist, but it will be impossible to add additional data to it).
12
13Creating a new ego requires using the \-C option together with an identifier (name) that is to be used for the new ego. This identifier is only used locally for this peer and not shared with other peers.
