Sure. Here is a very basic one:

echo "OK - what's up?"
while read cmd rest; do
echo "cmd=$cmd rest=$rest" >&2
case "$cmd" in
\#*)
;;
GETPIN)
echo "D ${PINENTRY_USER_DATA}"
echo "OK"
;;
BYE)
echo "OK"
exit 0
;;
*)
echo "OK"
;;
esac
done
It simply echos the content of the envvar PINENTRY_USER_DATA which is
passed from gpg to via gpg-agent to the pinentry. A more useful script
would use this variable to convey control information to the script.
