NAME
gpgme-tool - Assuan server exposing GnuPG Made Easy operationsSYNOPSIS
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.
