NAME

gpgme-tool - Assuan server exposing GnuPG Made Easy operations

SYNOPSIS

gpgme-tool [ --server | -s ] [ --gpgme-binary = FILE ] [ --lib-version ] [ --usage ] [ --version | -V ] [ --help | -? ]

DESCRIPTION

gpgme-tool is a test interface that can exercise the library functionality of GPGME . It is not currently intended for production use, but it can be a useful way to dynamically understand and experiment with the functionality available from the library.

Running this tool in Server mode (the default mode) results in a text-based, command-driven session. When the tool produces (on its standard output) a line beginning with OK or ERR , you can provide it with a command on its standard input. Try the command HELP to see a list of available commands. Commands are case-insensitive.

Status lines begin with an S , and data lines begin with a D .
