Is it possible to get GPG to enable echoing input when prompting the
user for a password? Since symmetric encryption prompts the user for a
password once, it's vulnerable to silent typos, so I find myself
decrypting files to double check the password when I generally wouldn't
have to do this if I c

There are lots of things that aren't taught in classrooms that still

No, it is not. "They" and "their" have been used as gender-neutral,
singular pronouns for centuries. Even if that wasn't the case, it's
widely accepted in modern colloquial usa

I have multiple public keys in my GPG keyring. When validating
signatures, I sometimes want to validate them against a specific key so
if the file is signed by someone other than the individual or
organization I expect, it will fail. Currently, I do this by creating a
keyring that consists of only

For GPG 1.x, you can change this by setting the GPG_AGENT_INFO
environment variable or by using the --gpg-agent-info flag. Both of
these are documented

It's not that simple. I would also need to account for flags passed into
the application via the command line (--d
Is it possible to query the configuration of a running gpg-agent? In
particular, I would like to query the running agent to see what values
are being used for default-cache-ttl and max-cache-ttl. I have reviewed
the documentation for gpg-connect-agent and its commands but haven't
found what I'm loo

I'm writing an email client with support for PGP encrypted and signed
messages using GPG. I've noticed that GPG seems to do the right thing in
may situations regardless of the flags used which makes it hard to know
if I'm passing it the correct flags. For example, if I pipe a
clearsigned message in
