Since version 2.1 of GnuPG, dirmngr takes care of accessing
the OpenPGP keyservers. As with previous versions it is also used as
a server for managing and downloading certificate revocation lists
(CRLs) for X.509 certificates, downloading X.509 certificates, and
providing access to OCSP providers. Dirmngr is invoked internally by
gpg, gpgsm, or via the gpg-connect-agent
tool.
