# Verifying a signature with keys manager.

## verify2.c

    /**
     * XML Security Library example: Verifying a file using keys manager.
     *
     * Verifies a file using keys manager
     *
     * Usage:
     *      verify2 <signed-file> <public-pem-key1> [<public-pem-key2> [...]]
     *
     * Example:
     *      ./verify2 sign1-res.xml rsapub.pem
     *      ./verify2 sign2-res.xml rsapub.pem
