       GnuPG::Handles - GnuPG handles bundle

SYNOPSIS

         use IO::Handle;
         my ( $stdin, $stdout, $stderr,
              $status_fh, $logger_fh, $passphrase_fh,
            )
           = ( IO::Handle->new(), IO::Handle->new(), IO::Handle->new(),
               IO::Handle->new(), IO::Handle->new(), IO::Handle->new(),
             );

         my $handles = GnuPG::Handles->new
           ( stdin      => $stdin,
             stdout     => $stdout,
             stderr     => $stderr,
             status     => $status_fh,
             logger     => $logger_fh,
             passphrase => $passphrase_fh,
           );

DESCRIPTION

       GnuPG::Handles objects are generally instantiated to be used in conjunction with methods
       of objects of the class GnuPG::Interface.  GnuPG::Handles objects represent a collection
       of handles that are used to communicate with GnuPG.

OBJECT METHODS

   Initialization Methods
       new( %initialization_args )
           This methods creates a new object.  The optional arguments are initialization of data
           members.

       hash_init( %args ).

OBJECT DATA MEMBERS

       stdin
           This handle is connected to the standard input of a GnuPG process.

       stdout
           This handle is connected to the standard output of a GnuPG process.

       stderr
           This handle is connected to the standard error of a GnuPG process.

       status
           This handle is connected to the status output handle of a GnuPG process.

       logger
           This handle is connected to the logger output handle of a GnuPG process.

       passphrase
           This handle is connected to the passphrase input handle of a GnuPG process.

       command
           This handle is connected to the command input handle of a GnuPG process.

       options
           This is a hash of hashrefs of settings pertaining to the handles in this object.  The
           outer-level hash is keyed by the names of the handle the setting is for, while the
           inner is keyed by the setting being referenced.  For example, to set the setting
           "direct" to true for the filehandle "stdin", the following code will do:

               # assuming $handles is an already-created
               # GnuPG::Handles object, this sets all
               # options for the filehandle stdin in one blow,
               # clearing out all others
               $handles->options( 'stdin', { direct => 1 } );

               # this is useful to just make one change
               # to the set of options for a handle
               $handles->options( 'stdin' )->{direct} = 1;

               # and to get the setting...
               $setting = $handles->options( 'stdin' )->{direct};

               # and to clear the settings for stdin
               $handles->options( 'stdin', {} );

           The currently-used settings are as follows:

           direct
               If the setting "direct" is true for a handle, the GnuPG process spawned will
               access the handle directly.  This is useful for having the GnuPG process read or
               write directly to or from an already-opened file.
