You have downloaded a file named file.tgz along with a signature file named file.tgz.asc. Which commands can be used to verify that file.tgz has not been tampered with since the file creator created…

gpg --verify file.tgz.asc file.tgz explicitly instructs GPG to verify the signature in 'file.tgz.asc' against the content of 'file.tgz'.

gpg verify file.tgz is incomplete; GPG needs to know which signature file to use for verification.

gpg --verify file.tgz.asc implicitly tells GPG to look for a corresponding data file (e.g., 'file.tgz') in the same directory to verify the signature against, based on common naming conventions.

gpgv verify file.tgz.asc is redundant; 'gpgv' does not require the 'verify' subcommand, as verification is its primary function when given a signature file.

gpgv file.tgz.asc utilizes the 'gpgv' utility, a specialized version of GPG focused on verification, to check the detached signature 'file.tgz.asc' against its implied data file 'file.tgz'.
